Barson Visit in April

We were very grateful to have Auntie Katie and Grandma Barson for a week in early April. My spring break did not coincide with the Montessori spring break so our visitors helped out immensely! Sophia easily remembered both Auntie Katie and Grandma Barson, and really enjoyed herself. Everett slowly warmed to them after a day or two.

I actually had another person to stand behind the camera and take a picture of me and the kids. I am often the one to take the pictures. Silly Sophia!

All I can say about the above picture of Everett is..."baby got back"! We took Auntie Katie and Grandma Barson to Mobius Kids Museum. Wow, what a power-packed afternoon. We had a great time but, I think Katie is further convinced that she won't be having kids of her own any time soon. I will say that Katie is very patient with them and is always willing to play, which they love.

Grandma Barson is bringing in a basket of produce straight from the 'fields' to feed the Barson clan in the hut. We ate a lot of fruit and fish.

Auntie Katie is being waited on by the Barson kids. Everett has an ear of corn and Sophia is setting the table with woven-grass placemats.

Thanks again for your help Auntie Katie and Grandma Barson. Everything ran very smoothly; John and I got some extra things done around the house and even had desert out...by ourselves.
