Ezra, Maren, and I are just back from a two-week visit with my parents. It was a lovely time for all, but I think Ezra especially benefited. My five siblings who live near my parents were all able to visit both weekends we were in town. I feel so grateful that my children are so loved by my family! My sisters are so affectionate and cuddly. They are warm and attentive, and more than willing to read stories, go on walks, play with cars, and listen to my animated little boy. My brother Aaron is an awesome uncle too. He is silly, fun-loving, and a big tease. He and Ezra engaged in a good bit of playful banter whenever they got together.
Grandpa taught Ezra how to play Marble-works. They worked on the
sprinklers together, they played at the park together, they watched
movies together. Grandpa, Ezra, Maren, and I took a road trip to
northern Utah and had a picnic in front of the Brigham City Temple and
Tabernacle.
Grandma was always available for Ezra. She dressed, bathed, tickled,
cuddled, fed, and loved my little sweetie. She took Ezra on outings,
read him stories, tucked him in bed, taught him, played with him,
encouraged him, and made him feel special. Grandma and Ezra rode a
Ferris wheel together, they had chocolate-vanilla swirl ice cream cones
together, they worked on home improvement projects together.

How fun!! What a happy time.
Heard a quote when I was a teenager that has been all over since then, and seems particularly appropriate in this case: "If I'd know grandchildren were so much fun, I would have had them first!"
Glad it was such a fun time.
