Grandpa Mike Comes To Town

My dad finally managed to get away from work to come and see us for a longer period of time! HOORAY! It was so relaxing and fun to have him here, but I am very sad that he is gone now. So is Callum. He fussed and cried the whole way home from dropping him off at the airport, which is highly unusual since he almost always falls sound asleep in the car. We all wish he could have stayed longer! Here is a little picture travelogue of his visit with his little "Buddy Man."

The boys spent a lot of time just hanging out together. Here they are just chillin' in their PJs.

On Saturday morning we went to the lovely Missouri Botanical Gardens. The weather was great and there were lots of tulips and daffodils in bloom. I chose a picture of myself with Callum to represent this outing, because it is the first one that we have of me with him after having showered and put on makeup! It's a miracle! (Truly. I mean, let's be honest, how many times do you really think I've gotten around to showering, doing my hair, and putting on makeup since that baby was born?! Those of you who know me well are probably right. Those of you who don't are thinking of a number that is way too high!)

Unfortunately Grandpa Mike couldn't escape work entirely, so here he is spending some "quality time" with Callum one night.....

Callum is NOT pleased! It looks like he may just give Grandpa Mike a knuckle sandwich! :)
Callum and Grandpa both really enjoyed watching General Conference at Matt and Jane Thomas' house. :)

Just look at those baby blues!

Callum is so happy with his Grandpa! I love this picture!

Your dad is so sweet. What a good grandpa. I miss you!

Oh and by the way... I don't even want to know how many days you went without showering... I remember when you lived in the room next door to me.. :)
