Grandparents come to visit

We had KP's parents come visit us. We obviously need to teach our neighbor how to take a picture, since half our eyes are closed. At least he offered, which was nice.

KP got a saying from a tv show he used to watch that went like this: "If the women don't find you handsome, then at least they should find you handy." I am lucky to have both in my husband. He and his dad did a few projects around the house. His dad redid the finish on our kitchen table. When we first bought it off cragislist, it would leave water marks. I was afraid of ruining the table, so we have kept a table cloth on it ever since. So my father in law fixed that problem for us, by refinishing the top of the table and putting a sealant on it.
The more time consuming project was to put up a back-splash in our kitchen. They did a wonderful job, and it looks so nice.
Getting all those tiles to line up just right and level. Now time to grout!
The finished project. Apparently I need to learn how to take a picture as well, as these are crooked. Oh well.

The girls enjoyed grandma reading to them, and she in turn listened to numerous music practicing of piano and flute.
I was also grateful for her help in keeping the house in order as my part time job turned into a full time job unexpectedly after they let someone go in the company and I had to handle the transition and making sure to tie up loose ends. Luckily, my job has gone back to normal now. We did plan to go to the temple with them, but unfortunately the sessions were full that night. We had never had to call two days before to get a spot. I had some family names to do, so we scheduled for a session the next day. So, in short, the grandparents got a short tour of Louisville, KY.
Also, KP received a new calling at church. He was ordained a High Priest by his dad, and he was set apart as the First Assistant to the High Priest Group Leader.Big A took the following picture-she needs some lessons too in waiting until someone is done talking before you take a picture.
 
We really enjoyed them while they were in town. So grateful that they could come and spend time with us.






Family Picture Time!

We had a friend take these pictures for us, and we had a fun time getting them taken! There were so many great ones, I just picked a few favorites.
