Visit from Grammie and Landon

(pretend the post date is sometime in early September- Labor Day weekend)
We enjoyed a weekend of sweet company during Labor Day weekend from Grammie and Landon. They arrived just in time for a Zuppa Toscana and french bread lunch. Afterwards, the boys went down for their naps, Clay and Landon got busy with a video game match, and mom and I hit the mall! Our goal was to find Noah's winter wardrobe for cheap. Thankfully, Children's Place, our go-to place for buying durable (and cute :) kids clothing, was having a fabulous Labor Day sale. Under 2 hours, we had bought Noah all the clothes he would need for the next several months. We felt very productive! After all that shopping we worked up an appetite. My mom was so gracious to take us to eat at our favorite restaurant- Uncle Julios!!
On Sunday we went to Sunday School and church. We were thankful to get to share our family with our church body. For lunch we had shrimp fettucini that my mom helped me prepare the night before. That afternoon I got to hang out with my "little" brother at the mall. Our favorite spots were testing out the mattresses in the mattress store and getting massages from the massage chairs. That evening my mom was kind enough to send Clay and I on a date while she watched the boys. We spent at evening at Outback and Montgomery Plaza while they ate McDonalds and played outside.
Monday morning we enjoyed breakfast together before they packed up and hit the road. Thank you mom and Landon (a bit late) for coming to visit us!
