Grandparents Gone Missing?

As I type this post, PopPop and Nana are on their way to the airport, leaving on a red-eye flight back to Cleveland. It was so nice having them here for a week.

During their trip, they went to Mt. Rainier and climbed to base camp. It was while they were there when we checked into the hotel, and had reserved a room for them as well, because we didn't know if the place they had in Seattle had air conditioning. We called to work out the details with them, but they didn't have reception on their cell phones. So, we called their hotel in Mt. Rainier, but they had checked out a day early. Where had they gone? We kept trying to call them, but got no answer. We were really worried, and about one step away from calling the park ranger to report them as missing when they got our message and called us back. They could only get one night at the first hotel so they had to book the second night somewhere else. We didn't know this, so it was all so weird to us that they had checked out a day before they said they were coming back to Seattle.

They did their climb and are totally fine, except Alice got badly sunburn on her neck. David and I now have a glimpse into what it will be like to have teenagers who don't call home to tell us they'll be late, or where they're at, etc. Here are Alice and Don at Mt. Rainier. We're proud of them for making the difficult climb.I got Tyler this mesh feeding thing recently, after a friend told me how great it is. Here he is feeding himself a piece of peach.
Tyler was laying on the floor today & when Vincent came into the room he took one look at Tyler and wanted to snuggle with him. They were both so happy. I can see this turning into future brothers wrestling, but for now, I enjoy seeing how loving and cute they are together.
