George visits LR

We had the pleasure of hosting George (the best man in our wedding) for a weekend visit, and as always, the girls loved having someone new to entertain.

Bella's rock-moving dance
As Bella continued to add rocks to a pile in George's hand, George observed that she must be a future civil engineer. Meanwhile, Gabi found her friend Grant, who taught her how to walk up the slide.

Gabi reached the top


Gabi by the creek
Gabi had initially requested permission to jump across the creek, but then she decided that it was too scary and instead walked along the side wall as if it were a balance beam.

Here, Daddy! I made you a sandwich.

We love it when Michael pulls out his guitar

Hugging George goodbye
It was a fun weekend, although we didn't have any adult-only time. Life sure is different once you have kids! We took many more pictures than I can post on the blog.
