Visit from Grandpa & Grandma

We had a great time with Grandpa & Grandma!! We played outside, went to the park, the train museum & they even stayed for Zach's birthday party. Molly made sure Grandpa knew of her love of books. I am pretty sure he read at least 10 a day...several that he remembered reading when I was a kid.

St. Paul has the cutest Train Museum with an actual Turntable and train ride, as well as many cool old trains to explore.

Molly's new bike

Grandpa got Zach his first bike, so he wanted to do the same for Molly. She picked out the Pinkalicious one...it is favorite book and Pink is her favorite color, so it was perfect. It came complete with a bag on the front and a baby seat on the back. She will be the perfect Mommy to her babies! Thanks Grandpa!!

Andy & the Sanford's

Planting Snow

Molly is not really one for the cold weather but she loves snow...I should have known with her love for ice cubes. But in her eyes it is "nummy" so she may never make a mud pie, but a snow (with yes some muddy) pie...for sure. She loved taking the piles of snow and moving it to the pot.

Nice to meet you Backyard...

it has been too long!
