Saturday night my dad was expected to arrive around 7:30. Matt, Nathan and I went to greet him. While we waited Nathan was going up to strangers to be picked up or hugged...it gets embarrassing! ha ha. You'd think he doesn't get any love at home. He also kept going over to a dog waiting for his owner. Have I mentioned before that he LOVES dogs. He laughs at them even when he spots them 20 feet away.
Here comes Pappy!
A little unsure at first.
That didn't take long...
Then, a minute goes by and MOM comes around the corner. They surprised us! I was suspicious but didn't want to get my homes up. I was elated of course. Nathan again, was not sure. His face here cracks me up.
She didn't let that last long!
Nathan was having a ball running around the airport. Matt had to corral him.
Let's go guys! I got your luggage!
This is Sunday morning before church. Nathan was collecting leaves with his pappy.
After church and a delicious lunch at the Colorado Mountain Brewery, we stopped by Encompass for Matt to take care of a few things. So we got out of the car and enjoyed the weather!
That evening Dad and I took a walk with Nathan around sunset.
This one makes me laugh.
On Monday my parents watched Nathan while I had lunch with the marketing team at Encompass. It was fun getting to see all of my co-workers at once AND nice to have my parents there to watch Nathan!
That evening we went to a few stores and then had dinner at Salsa Brava. Dad took this picture on his iphone at LAZYBOY. Nathan was loving this stuffed moose! The salesman suggested I put him on it!
There was a stuffed horse and bunny too that he was cuddling up to.
He was being silly at the restaurant. For some reason, every time he looked at mom he would cover his ears/head like this and laugh.
My parents could not believe how much this boy can pack in! He ate most of the quesadilla from the kid's menu, rice, milk and applesauce. I thought I was going to have more of his meal to eat! The day before he wolfed down a lot more beef than you would believe!
Pappy & Grandma taught Nathan how to put change in his piggy bank. Dad would empty his pockets every day :)
Nathan got it down pretty good. He was SO proud of himself after putting all of the change in it he got all excited and picked the whole thing up (it was very heavy) and then he fell over it!
Dad & I went for breakfast to IHOP on Tuesday morning. Yum!
Here we are at TJ Maxx later. Dad wanted to get a video of Nathan with the doll because Matt hates when Nathan goes to "pink" or shiny girly things in the store!
But it didn't work. Nathan threw it out of the cart!
We went to Focus for awhile too. To Whit's End and the bookstore.
Pappy & Nathan in the "secret passageway". Colin loved this place when David & Age were out here a few years ago!
These holes are too big for heads.
"Hi Pappy!"
If only I stretch a little further...
There he goes again...
Grandma must be looking at him.
Just got up from a nap...
What are they feeding him now?
"Peek!"
Playing ball.
He was so funny. He'd give them the ball and then want a hug.
Dad & I made a Starbucks run late Wednesday morning. We love the Briargate shopping area! We got drinks at Starbucks and a breakfast snack at Panera...yum. Thanks, Dad!
Before taking them to the airport.
Nathan was very used to having them around after only a few days! He kept leaning into Grandma Liz to cuddle. It was too cute. The kid loves a reaction.
Thanks for coming, Mom & Dad! Nathan and I had a great time...and Matt while he was here. He was sad to miss some of the fun!

What great pictures. I think Grandma Liz and Pappy are crazy about this little guy. Glad you had this time together. G.J.
