Grandma Dhreen left on a Saturday and Grammy and Grandpa Russ arrived Sunday. A couple days later Andrew and Russ started the never ending project of putting together the play set for the girls. It took them an entire week to put together. They had to pre drill every hole and then put in every screw. There were more than a few hundred. It was quite the project and I am so glad Andrew didn't get around to putting it together till his dad arrived and could help out.
The project was well worth the work. The girls play on it every single day and love it. I'm glad they have something they can play on together outside. Their imaginations have really grown since the play set went up. It's been wonderful.
One morning I woke up to these beauties from my sweet Kate. She had gone out front with Grandpa Russ that morning and picked them for me. Melted my heart!
We all made a trip to the Pensacola Air Museum. The girls enjoyed looking at the planes but mostly liked the ones that they could play inside of.
The second large project that Grandpa Russ helped out with/this one he pretty much did by himself, was paint the entire living area/kitchen. I know that we would not have gotten it done ourselves had he not insisted on painting because it's been a month and we have yet to finish up painting the bedrooms, bathrooms, and closets.
Here the girls are running around on the roller stick thing. We put a stop to their fun after they bumped up against one too many newly painted walls.
Their second Sunday here was Ellie's baby blessing day. Kate asked me to curl her hair and was so happy with how beautiful her hair looked.

It was nice to have so much help with projects around the house and keeping the girls happy. We hope to see Grammy and Grandpa in Beijing next year after Andrew is done with his training.
