Yes, we are finally back. We had a great time with my grandparents, whom I am especially close to. A few years ago my grandparents finally moved out of the small town they had lived in most of their married lives and went for their dream. They now live on and care for many acres of beautiful Ohio land, and nestled smack in the center is their rustic and cozy A-frame cabin. It is so important to me, that my boys get to know them like I do - that they make memories with them that will last for years to come. Danny absolutely loved, and when I say loved - I mean LOVED “Neeny’s forest”. He explored and found treasures, went on “monster truck” (ATV) rides, collected pine cones with Pa to burn in the fire pit, and played for hours in the little playhouse that houses all the toys not only I, but my mom and uncle played with as children. Talk about pieces of my past! I couldn’t help but smile to see my little boy playing with games and playthings that I once cherished. His Neeny certainly has a special place in his heart and I couldn’t be happier. My mom and dad, and sisters were able to come out for the weekend and it was especially neat because my dad and sister Abby had yet to meet our Mister Luke. He and Danny got spoiled rotten with loves and kisses and I’m most likely going to be hearing about all of their adventures for months to come : )
We had quite a day today, overweight luggage, cancelled and re-routed flights… on top of a last minute trip to the Dr to learn our Monkey-Lukie has his first ear infection. Fun stuff! We are missing our Neeny & Pa, but glad to be home and ready to get back into the routine of life!
When I say here are a few, I quite literally mean a few in comparison to the amount of photos I took… I think it is safe to say no one is missing my giant camera in their faces any longer! So, alas, here are a few of my favorite parts of our week. Enjoy!

Awww … what beautiful pictures, Ang! I am extremely close with my gram, too. My boys love her and I absolutely cherish my relationship and friendship I have with her. I am happy you had such a great time … I am selfish though and am glad you are home to blog again. LOL! :o)
