Mark and the Grandparents

Mark is in hog heaven. Seriously. We're on his first trip to see his Grandpa and Grandma in South Dakota, and he's been a trouper. Starting with a 16-hour drive, spread out over three days, including weird bedtimes and strange eating arrangements, it seems to all be worthwhile now that he's getting to play with Grandma and Grandpa.

Grandma plays peek-a-boo with him in the kitchen, chasing him on all fours around the kitchen island. The laughter rings throughout the house. Then Grandpa takes him outside to play. (Then he samples the cat's food...again.) Then Grandpa helps him walk around, and Grandma reads his books to him -- even though #7 in the adding book is 7 rats, Grandma's least favorite thing in the entire world.

Everyone thinks he's adorable, and of course, he's been on his best behavior. Hurray!
