Time to Say Goodbye.....

Today was my parents last day in town....they are leaving tomorrow mid-morning. We sure enjoyed having them around for so long. Usually when they come to visit its only for the weekend so it was great to have some extra time to visit. Of course that was only when Mr. Soren was sleeping! Basically we traded him off day for night. My parents kept him during the evenings and early mornings and then they brought him to my house for his normal day. He was so funny....he would NOT go to sleep that first day because my parents were still in my house. He screamed and cried because he knew that Grandpa would come and rescue him from the evil crib. We figured it out that even if they planned on hanging out for a little bit, they still had to basically pretend they were leaving. They said their goodbyes and walked out the door....waited for a minute while I laid him down...then they came back in. Worked like a charm! Alisa and Nate are on their way home as I type...in fact I think they are about landing right now. Here are a few pictures taken tonight as we said goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa. Ian was pretty bummed I think....he sure worried about Grandpa while he was sick and I think he didnt want to let go there for while when hugging him goodbye.... And Addison has decided that Grandpa is pretty great! For the first time EVER in her 3 years, she ran to Grandpa without hesitation and jumped in his lap. We love you Mom and Dad. Thanks for coming and spending time with us!
