Grandpa and Grandma are here!!

My parents are here at long last!! We have been looking forward to their visit since we knew they were coming. Unfortunately, we all got sick as soon as they got here. Poor Parker and Penelope had fevers, then I caught it and finally Tory. Luckily it was only a 24-hour bug and we all recovered quickly. Besides my parents were working through jet-lag (they flew in from China) so they were ok with not doing a whole lot their first few days. But we are all better and enjoying their visit a ton. Penelope and Parker LOVE that Grandma reads to them:


And bakes with them:

And every night after scriptures Grandpa tells Parker and Penelope a story before they go to bed. They LOVE it!

And Oliver has even warmed up enough to snuggle with Grandpa in his bed:
We went to Dole Plantation to ride the train and Penelope loved sitting between Grandpa and Grandma:

And we had the best 'Christmas in June' when Grandpa and Grandma gave us all wonderful presents from China. All the kids got new pajamas:
Their first week has flown by and these next two are sure to do the same (although a couple days will probably feel like eternity to Grandpa and Grandma when we leave the kids with them while Tory and I sneak away!). We are SO glad they are here.
