Rose and Bill (AKA Grandma and Granddad Sharkey!) visit

Madeleine and I were THRILLED when Rose and Bill arrived! =)
We did SO MANY things...

We showed Sharkey that he CAN take his girls out to dinner.

He was worried about Maddie's restaurant behavior, but true to a Nevins, if she's fed, she's happy! :)


And Rose, never one to sit around on her bum (so unlike the rest of us, hehe!), got SO much done!

She painted our new foundation ~ all the way around the house!!!


Rose and Bill even sanded, cleaned, AND repainted our deck, so now it looks brand new! =)


Rose even managed to squeeze in time to paint our front gate (how white!) AND do a bit of gardening!!!


Of course, it wasn't ALL work and no play (just MOSTLY work, lol!)...
Maddie and I took Rose & Bill to lunch to show our appreciation for all their hard work. :D



Sharkey and Bill discovered it's fun to BBQ with a Baby! (I wasn't so sure about that!!) :-O




Rose discovered Madeleine LOVES the outdoors; whenever she was fussy, Rose would take her outside, and Maddie would settle down immediately!


I am DEFINITELY concerned about this early love of the outdoors! Perhaps I'll take her to the mall more, LOL!!

We also took Madeleine to the beach for the first time.

However, getting her & her stroller down to the beach was an event on its own, lol! ;>





All in all, another fun and PRODUCTIVE visit from Rose & Bill! THANK YOU SO MUCH! =)
...Madeleine was exhausted just watching it all! :P
(Good girl, posing just like Mommy! :P


But Madeleine is looking forward to their next visit in June for more cuddling (and hand-holding)! ;>
