Grandma and Grandpa Come to Visit

We had more visitors this weekend. My parents came to visit us. They had spent much of the winter down in Texas so hadn't seen Stian since Christmas and needed to come see him. So they came down and helped us get some stuff done around the house. Kris and Dad concentrated their efforts on the attic, installing some hardwood flooring and light fixtures, painting the walls, urethaning and putting up the railing, and they started getting the baseboards ready to go in once it has been carpeted. It's shaping up! Though there is still more work to do up there.

We also had time to do some playing, of course.

We went out to dinner.







After dinner Stian spontaneously went over to this tree and gave it a hug. We had to have him recreate it for the camera, but it wasn't as cute as when he did it on his own.



One of Stian's favorite activities these days is driving. When we get back from some place he invariably wants to sit in the driver's seat and pretend he's driving for awhile. He likes to push buttons and pull levers. And we learned he can take the key off the dashboard and put it into the ignition by himself. So we need to be a little more careful about that!



He got to talk tractors with Grandpa.



Grandma and Grandpa brought him a kite back from Texas and we flew that.













Stian helped Daddy get the garden ready for planting.





Grandma and Stian played together lots.





And Stian goofed around and was his silly self.
