Adventures with Nana

Summer is off to a very busy start and I can't believe it's already June! We enjoyed a trip to Houston over Memorial Day weekend and then Gray unexpectedly stayed with Nana and Popper the following week.

Michael and I enjoyed a few child-free days, taking advantage of dining at some of our favorite restaurant patios around town. It's amazing how relaxing dinner can be when you aren't having to remind a child to eat between every bite. We also ran errands and stayed out past nine -- crazy! As enjoyable as it was, we were missing our boy by the weekend.

Nana drove Gray back last Saturday and is staying with us for two weeks to help with Grayson since he's no longer in day care. The two of them are inseparable and are so worn out by the end of the day that Nana goes to bed shortly after Grayson. We are all very lucky she's here.

They go to swim lessons every morning and for the next few days have baseball camp in the afternoons. Earlier in the week they also hit up several events at our local library and managed to work in an ice cream run and pancakes for lunch somewhere in there. I seem to meet them coming and going.

Nana, Michael and Gray have also been good sports as I've tried out a few new dinner recipes from Pinterest. I'm tired of our same 'ol dinner routine, but I'm sure they will all be thankful when we order pizza or something more "normal" this weekend.

Here are a few pictures Nana has captured during their recent adventures:
