Grandpa and Grandma Arrive

Yes, just after Nana and Papa left, in less than one week, we were blessed to be visited by Grandpa and Grandma Gant. March / early April is not a fun time in the midwest, but it's lovely in Texas ... so we always get visitors. :)

We introduced Grandpa to squeezable yogurt, of which he was a fan. Jasper had fun playing at the park with his grandparents who kindly took care of him while Benjamin and I travelled to Michigan for Auntie Lindsay's baby shower the first weekend in April.

While Benjamin and I were gone, Jasper et al attended Zeren's birthday party at Central Market. Miss Mallory (Jasper's first crush) was Zeren's nanny, and we've gotten together with them a few times for play groups. Jasper and Zeren like playing together and ask about each other. Jasper was looking quite cool in his new Lightning McQueen and Mater sunglasses. (If only we could find them again!)

Here is the birthday girl herself!

After the party, Jasper et al went on an adventure ... on the city BUS! Just a few blocks from Central Market is a spot to park and take the Capital Metro bus downtown. So they went to the Patagonia store. The very next day they got to ride the bus again to church. Jasper was loving it! He sooooo loves riding the bus, and this sort of fulfills one of Drew's goals - which is to rely exclusively on public transportation or self-propelled transportation. He'd ride down to Mellow Johnny's each Sunday if it wouldn't be so much of a burden on me to get the three of us to church on time. Oh well, one day things will be easier and he won't have to hang back to take care of us so much.


Jasper loves to wrestle with his daddy, and one night he got to have fun wrestling with his grandpa, too!

Benjamin and Grandma spent some time hanging out while Jasper and his Grandpa were wrestling, but Jasper took a moment amid the fun to come over and pose with his brother. How cute!
