super visit

while t.j. was researching in virginia, my wonderful parents came to help me out.  i love my folks so much.  we did many a fun thing and the week went by quite fast.  i love having family around. 

you know, it's a real shame...as you can tell from these photos...my parents don't really embrace their grandparenting roles:

it seems the kiddos have landed upon "she-she" and "papa ken" for my parents (sheila and ken).  after my parents left, car and lu would wake up several mornings after and ask "where she-she? where papa ken?"  so stinking sweet.  they would then usually answer their question by slowly shaking their heads and saying "car, byebye" which loosely translates to "they left in a car".  


i cannot tell you how much i love sharing my children with our family.  it just feels right.
