Grandma and Grandpa flew out to the west coast last week to visit us (and Aunt Lisa, now in Seattle). As seems to be my habit when we have visitors, I hardly took any pictures. The guests are usually taking tons of their own, so I take a little break. Grandma sent me a few of hers to share from the visit. :)

There were a lot of books coming off the shelves. Between Jonah and Nora wanting to be read to, Jonah reading books of his own, and very willing grandparent readers, there was no shortage of stories.

Jonah helped bake pumpkin cookies for everyone. His favorite part is plunking a big chocolate chip in the middle of each one.

The next morning, we walked Jonah to preschool and then came home and ate some cookies for breakfast. :) (shhh… don’t tell him.)

Jonah concentrates hard as he works on some truck drawings.

Nora’s just starting to enjoy walking around while holding someone’s hands. Since she’s much happier with her speedy crawling, though, our backs don’t suffer too much.
