Grandpa Fitgerald Comes to Visit

We recently enjoyed a visit from Grandpa Fitzgerald who came to see us from Colorado. We always enjoy his visits! We started out with some great mexican food. We have not taken the babies out to eat in quite some time and I realized how much they've grown as it was a great dinner and they were "fairly" cooperative! They LOVED the chips and salsa.

Get a chip......

and dip!

The girls were so anxious for Grandpa to get here. We had a few minutes to wait so I convinced them to take ANOTHER picture for me while we waited for the boys.

(Brooklyn, Katie, Lauren)

Saturday morning, bright and early, Katie had a soccer game. The girls all did really well considering how chilly it was and Katie scored her first goal! (Funny story, the coach's daughter, who could dictate the whole game, kicked the ball all the way down to the goal and at the last second Katie got her foot in the mix to kick it in. ) Her coach gave her the biggest hug and made a big to do which was so sweet and made Katie feel proud.

Here is the tunnel that all the parents make which the kids get to run through at the end. No matter how many tears or injuries there are during the game, everyone is "healed" and happy once it's tunnel time.


Then we were off to the church for cleaning duty.


Which somehow turned into driving lessons and cookies in the parking lot?


Sunday was church and home to grill. Lauren and Brooklyn have a long hard day on Sundays. We don't have church until 1:00 p.m. and don't get home until about 4:30. That makes for no nap and 2 crabby's! They both fell dead asleep in their high chairs at 5:00 while eating dinner. We actually caught them drifitng off and I was able to get some "head bobbing" on video.

Look at that sweet little Brookie!


Ha Ha! This is one of my favorite pictures of Lauren. She makes so many funny facial expressions. Her teachers at preschool commented on it right away. You can always tell exactly how Lauren is feeling.

But someone came along to push her and now she is happy!

Brooklyn has such a cute smile but every time she sees a camera or I try to get her attention she does the "cheese."

Monday afternoon Grandpa and I took the girls to the park at the front of our neighborhood. They would sleep at the park if I would let them. :)

Thanks for coming and for the great visit Grandpa Fitz!

And lastly, today was ORANGE day at school which meant another opportunity to wear our Halloween clothes!
