Plethora of Pictures of the Proud (Grand)Parents

My dad will be proud of my alliterative title! Speaking of my dad we just had a short but sweet visit with him before having a lovely visit with Marc's parents. Both Marc and I have loved having visitors, it is so nice to have people to help with and hold Ty and visit with. Julie and Lowell come next and we are super excited to have them!

My dad arrived last Monday morning and was delighted to meet Ty. Ty was also happy to meet him! He arrived with lots of books and sleepers for him too. Typical grandparent. ;)
We went for some nice walks - the forecast was for rain but it always cooperated in the afternoon for us to get out and enjoy the outdoors.
Marc was trying to pose like the trees. I look like I am waving but was also trying to pose. Ty is falling over. :)

Niko still got some time with Grandpa Greg!

Like mother, like son:

Tyrn watching his first NCAA final with Grandpa. Hopefully the first of many! They probably won't all be as exciting as this years!

My dad got this great shot of Ty right before he left.

My dad's flight arrived in Calgary and Marc's parents hopped on the same plane to head right back to Abbotsford.

We had a busy few days with Marc's parents and Shareen even joined us for the weekend. Nana and Grandpa G brought a suitcase full of Marc's old clothes as well as some photo albums.

This bonnet was knitted for Marc by his Grandma G when he was born.
Apparently he loves it!

Cuddling with Auntie Shareen

We had some nice visits with Marc's Aunt Helen, Uncle Gil and cousin Marcy as well as with Bette's (second?) cousin Gerry.

Enjoying a lovely lunch at Appeldoorns in downtown Chilliwack

Out for dinner at Earl's (On a side note, Earl's has changed their menu in the last couple of years and it is oh so tasty!!)

Niko and his new cousin Maggie right before Shareen headed back home.

Here is Ty in his new raincoat from my friend Nolene. I also had a shower this weekend but that is a post in itself!

Goodbye Nana and Grandpa! See you soon!

On a totally unrelated note to all the relatives in the above pictures, we ordered a decal online for Tyrn's wall. We were initially going to go with a jungle theme for his room but while browsing online we found this amazing decal that we felt suited his birth day. Marc took this picture on the day Ty was born, noting how he will always remember looking out the window and seeing the beautiful cherry blossoms and associating them with this special day! We absolutely LOVE how it turned out and are continually going into Ty's room and just staring at the wall.

Marc stayed up late on Thursday starting and finished yesterday afternoon while I was out for coffee with a friend. Here is the wall from start to finish:

The end result. WOW!!

(In this picture there is something made by Bette, something made by Shareen, something made by Nolene and something made by us... any guesses?)
