My parents came out for the first week of April, in time for Laurel's 2nd birthday. We celebrated Laurel's birthday Thursday night with dinner, cake and presents (including a trike that Owen is very excited about). Owen and I took Friday and Monday off of school and work to have a long grandparents weekend. Friday we went to the Gilbert center to play. Saturday we had Laurel's birthday party. Sunday and Monday we recovered. Luckily we had a few nice days for weather while my parents were here.
Couple of stories about Owen- He and Richard played hide and seek, with Owen telling Richard where exactly to hide. After a few rounds of that Richard actually began hiding in different places, once going under the blanket on Owen's bed. Owen could not find him, so I had him climb up on his bed to keep looking. He still couldn't find him, but asked, what was under the covers (as he was sitting on Richard, who was shaking from laughing so hard).
Owen is very interested in the solar system right now. We have a book from the library about the planets, which Owen can now recite. He's been giving us planetarium shows with our solar system model in the playroom, pointing out each planet and telling us the appropriate factoid about it. In our house, we are keeping Pluto as a planet. Hopefully that won't cause a problem during elementary school...
