This morning, Stuart and Logan went to the library while Connor and I did grocery shopping to stock up for the next few days.  Connor had a big breakfast before we left the house, but when we were at the store, he got so excited with everything he saw, and kept pointing to different things and pointing to his mouth.  People probably thought that he was starving.  After we finished with the errands and spent some time at the yard, we did a switch.  I took Logan with me to a group lunch to say hi to Jennifer and her family.  Logan is easier at restaurants nowadays; he can be entertained with crayons/drawing and ultimately my phone for videos.  When we got to the restaurant, Jesselyn was so happy to see Logan that she almost fell out of her chair, but unfortunately, Logan did not really reciprocate.  Logan sat down next to Ian which he warmed up to quickly; they seemed to have fun talking with each other and watching the phone together. We had a good lunch, and I had a good time catching up with others.  After lunch, all the kids started playing with each other, playing hide and seek around the table.  There were a lot of giggles and laughter; we finally decided to leave the restaurant before they got out of control.

    After nap, we just hung out at home to wait for the grandparents to arrive.  When the door bell rang, the kids both got so excited and curious.  They were shy initially, hesitating to give hugs, but Logan warmed up quickly as he has been looking forward to see the grandparents for a long time.  Connor, to our surprise, warmed up quite fast too; he held Grandpa’s hand and asked Grandma to read to him.  Connor was very clingy to us just a month and a half ago when we last saw the grandparents; I think the change was partly due to Connor copying everything Logan does these days.  Connor was also so funny that every time when grandpa left the couch, Connor would go find him and direct him to return to the seat.  Both boys behaved well and were so content playing with the grandparents that Stuart and I could leisurely get dinner ready.  Now that the grandparents have arrived, we can really feel that the holidays are here.
