President's Day Weekend part 2

So, Aunt Jenelle's sister, Aunt Karlee, had baby Karson on February 12th at 3:03 a.m.  We had been awaiting his arrival for a while.  Aunt Jenelle's plan was to fly up and surprise her sister.  Jenelle called a few weeks ago and mentioned she wanted to surprise Grace as well and bring her along.  We kept this from Kelsey to surprise her.  Surprises all around!  They flew up Friday evening along with Jenelle's dad Duane.  They went straight to the hospital late Friday night while we kept Grace and brought everyone else up Saturday.

On Saturday we went to NanNan and PopPop's, the hospital, and Randy and Tammies.  While we were at Randy and Tammies we decided to send the kids back with NanNan and PopPop so Mark, Jenelle, and I could have an adult wine tasting evening.  We didn't realize it had snowed 2-3 inches while we were making these plans.  PopPop loaded up the car with the three grandchildren and NanNan and off they went into the windy snowy night.  They made it safely and had a wonderful evening camping out on the floor, even though there was a bed right there. Evan even slept until 9 a.m. the next morning.  I enjoyed my first night away from both kids.  It was weird to wake up and not have to make breakfast for the little ones. Thanks Randy and Tammie for hosting us and NanNan and PopPop for watching the kids, not that we gave you all much choice. :-)

On Sunday we went to get the kids, rested, and then went back up to see cousin Karson who had been released from the hospital that day.  Mark and Evan drove NanNan back to Maryland to the airport since she was going to FL to babysit the kids while Jenelle's parents are up in PA helping with the new baby.  We spent all of Sunday afternoon into the evening with Jenelle's family and then headed back to Maryland late to be here for them to go to the airport on Monday.  The cool thing Grace's birthday was Monday so we got to be with her.  Kelsey and Grace had a wonderful time and we can't wait to see them again!!!  What a wonderful weekend!
