OUR TURN to visit the Grandkids

It has always been our plan to wait several weeks after Lilly was born to make our first trip to Denver. Then she was born a week earlier than we thought and waiting those 4 weeks to meet her was so hard. But finally our time came....and of course we are ecstatic!
Here is my first look at Lilly.....

Here is Kurt making a big lap for Lilly and Mark.

Later it was my time to share my lap- what a beautiful handful!

A big part of our onsite job is to keep Mark entertained so mom and dad can spend time with Lilly and/or get some rest. Mark and I spent an hour one sunny afternoon burying him in his sandbox. (It was fun for both of us--and not too messy since I was right there to brush him off. I imagine his folks won't be so happy about this game the next time Mark tries to recreate it himself!)

Kurt went hiking with Mark and Tim and they found some great climbing rocks....(also notice Mark and grandpa in their matching "grandpa shirts")

All too soon it was time for Kurt to say goodbye to Lilly as he went back to KF before Joanie. Here he is giving her his last big cuddle. Lilly LOVED sleeping on Grandpa's chest. They both are missing each other already!
