Labor Day with Nonni and Pap Pap

After a few days of down time, another set of doting grandparents descended upon us to the elation of Joe and Thomas. Nonni and Pap Pap drove down Wednesday night so on Thursday morning, the boys had a big surprise waiting for them! While Ken was at work, they spent time with the boys and later on, Helen, the boys and I met a friend of hers from Cumberland for lunch. She was visiting her daughter who lives in Charlotte as well, and they brought their neighbor who has a son a little younger than Joe. The rest of the weekend went by in a flash and was spent going to our favorite park, exploring a new one with the GPs and Aunt Ann, and just hanging around the house having fun. Well, I should say SWINGING around since Ken and Pap Pap hung up a swing for the boys in the enormous tree we have out front. I also convinced Nonni to help me make her famous Eggplant Parmesan so that I could learn her tricks and make it for the boys sometime. It tasted really yummy!!! Too soon, Nonni and Pap had to go but we will see them again in October!
