Summer feast!

Jackson was traveling for work this week and then we were headed to Canada for the long weekend so we had to fit in some time with the little Js before he hit the road. We settled on Monday night and we even arrived early (God bless summer hours! Getting off at 4 is incredible!) to get in some extra playing time. Jax wanted to spend time alone in his room (he's 4 going on 14!) so we hung with Joss playing baby dolls for a bit. When Andrew got home and saw the spread of food he exclaimed that we were having a summer feast and that kind of stuck with me. We had a little cookout, Heidi made mac-n-cheese (it was SO good), we had fruit, salad and HEIDI'S CHOCOLATE CAKE.* 

*She sent us home with cake leftovers. When I left for work on Tuesday morning I cautioned Jackson against touching my cake. He heeded my advice and I got to enjoy it after a long day at work- amazing. Thanks again, Heid!  

Joss' burger was almost as big as her face!

The spin game never gets old!

WHEEEEEEEEEE!!

A Jackson sandwich! Pile on! 

We love getting play time with the kids. It isn't until I see photos that I realize how big they're getting and want to cry! I love them at this age!! 

I got to stop by to drop some things off to Heidi last night so Jax showed me his new cartwheels. He's so good! I am amazed at his lack of fear. He just throws himself into it and hopes he lands. I wish I was that fearless! Poor Joss was already in bed and was not happy! We don't usually hear the hard parts of parenting- like crying really loud when you're that small!- so it made me appreciate every more our early grandparenting relationship with these kiddos!! :)
