Overnight visit from Jasonn & Kyle - 2/18/06

On 2/18/06...We thought we'd be making the big drive down to watch Jasonn & Kyle play their final game of basketball (each on different teams), but like all good plans... something always comes up to change them... The long and short of it.... Instead of us going there.... the boys came here for an overnight visit.... As it was a very cold night and even though we had a warm fire burning in the fireplace... we decided it would be better the boys camped out on the sofas for the night...where they'd have the heat of the fireplace to keep them nice and warm... I managed to sneak this picture before the boys woke up.... Can't trust the Nana when there's a camera around.... Here are my sleepy eyed boys.....ready for a fun day with their Nana (and her camera).....

We started our morning with a nice pancake breakfast and then time to freshen up for the day (they got their showers in the night before) ....... We thought we'd be going to church, but Nana still wasn't feeling all that well.... So we decided we'd just stay home and take it easy..... Here they are finishing up by brushing their teeth... All fresh and ready for the day..... While I was cleaning up in the kitchen, the boys kept warm by the fireplace, playing a game of cards.... I snuck in and snapped this picture when they least expected it...



One of the first things I noticed when they arrived the night before..... was how much each of them have grown since I seen them last.... Especially Jasonn (left)... He's going to be a tall boy one of these days...
The boys took turns taking pictures of Nana and themselves together..... Kyle catches on real quick with the camera.... Kyle seems to have more interest and the knack for picture taking .... We had to eliminate several of Jasonn's before we found these two.... the others, barely had us in the picture....Guess Kyle's going to be the one to inherit Nana's love for picture taking.....
The night they arrived we played a couple games of SORRY and watched a movie...(Bruce Almighty).... The next morning (after breakfast) the boys played a few games of cards together....... Around noon we had some lunch (Jasonn ham & cheese sandwich and Kyle (peanut butter & grape jelly).....Then all too soon.... Mommy and Papa arrived (around 1 or 1:30 in the afternoon) .... We had some cheesecake and coffee and then it was time for them to leave.... I even managed to get Olivia and Klaus to pose for this picture before they left...
Thanks for the great visit boys... and thanks Klaus & Olivia for bringing them up.... We sure are going to miss you guys after you move away this spring....Visits like these will be even fewer and farther between.... Not liking the thought of that.... Love you guys!!!
