The In-laws are coming! The In-laws are coming!

Ok, so they already came. I'm sadly running terribly behind on my life updates. Better late than never eh? That is the sad theme of my life. I seem to always be running behind on something. I try and tell myself that it's better to be running behind on things than to be doing nothing at all. I sleep better thinking like that than thinking that I am a horrible procrastinator (which may be more truthful). Anyway.... Jack's parents drove down to see us for about a week this last month, and it was great to hang out with them. We spent alot of time just hanging out at home. I cooked alot. Jack's dad, Jack does not like to venture far, so I was determined that if he didn't want to go out and explore, that at least he could say he ate well here! (my growing gut doth protest!) The kids really enjoyed having their undivided attention for so long, and were really sad to see them go.

One night we went to Peter Piper's Pizza to see what it was all about and to get Grandpa out of the house for a bit. Here's Mel playing air hockey with him. We won't talk about how bad she beat him. We also won't talk about how bad I beat him! I don't take mercy just because he's age-ed! Annihilation would be an appropriate word! Mwahahahaha!

Here's me and Helen after one of my too fatty, overindulgent meals. That's bloat man, not fat. Really.

This one needs to be framed. Not because it's so family-ish, but if you look at Jack's hand, what do you see? Well you don't see his middle finger all by itself, that's what! That's just not normal!

This one almost scares me. Mel looks like she's all hopped up on goofballs or somethin'. This will be one of those pictured I'll drag out later, when I'm trying to make her feel dumb.

Punkin loves Grandpa!

Grandma was marvelling with Sydney that we have such and incredibly pathetic dog.

We love you and miss you Grandma and Grandpa!
