Mom & Dad Come to Town

Tuesday, September 04, 2007

We were so lucky to have Ike's Jimmie & Pepe come to visit us from Charleston for 10 days over Labor Day. They picked up Dean in Brooklyn on the way for a weekend visit as well. We kept very busy enjoying the new patio, playing with Ike, cooking yummy meals and cruising on the boat. They were such a great help with Ike and he enjoyed spending time with them while I was at work. He was very spoiled by them but that is what grandparents are all about and Ike is oh so lucky to be blessed with a great family (on both sides).

For me it was very special to see my parents with Ike. It had been quite a while since they were united and he is such a great age and so interactive that you could just see the love between them. Thanks Mom & Dad!! We love you! For more pics of the visit click here.

They just couldn't get enough of little Ike

Mom & Dad took us out to dinner and this was Ike's first dinner out at a restaurant and he did super! He just loved watching all the people go by!
BIG lobster dinner- so big we had to serve them on platters!

So have you ever heard the term "piddling"? Piddling is what my Dad does best and he loves it! He likes to come to our house and help out with projects and this time it was to build an organizing shelf in our garage for storage. Thanks Dad for all of your hard work!
