A Very Wenzel Weekend

Hello, faithful five readers! Sorry it's been awhile. It's been a little crazy here, and this past week I worked all five days. I know I used to do that all the time with no problem, but it nearly killed me this time. I said to a friend at work who has three kids and works full time, "How do you DO this?" She replied, "Well, I have a husband who works from home and we have a nanny 45 hours a week." Oh. Point taken. Anyway, we survived, and while this week doesn't look that much lighter, I wanted to at least post pictures from our amazing weekend (last weekend) with Aunt Hannah, and surprise guests Robbie and Tom! The kids knew Hannah was coming, but were utterly shocked when the basement door opened in the morning and Robbie and Tom's heads peeked out. The joy!

OMG! Grandma Robbie is here!

What?! Grandpa TOM is here, too??



 This one captures our little flirt perfectly, no? :)

We had a great outing to the playground. The same one we go to four times a week...but it was totally new and exciting with Grandma Robbie and Grandpa Tom there! (On the way, Cody and Grandpa Tom had an intense conversation about what happens to cars with orange stickers, like the one broken down on the side of the road. As you can imagine, he has been replaying this conversation nonstop ever since.)
 
 
 
Swinging is just much better when Grandma Robbie's doing the pushing.
 
Or Grandpa Tom.
 
 
 
 Cody even convinced GT to take a swing with him. : )
And then Cordelia did a little persuading of her own...

Grandpa Tom, will you let me go on top of that death mobile? Mom says she can't reach but I think she's just risk averse. "Sure, Cordelia!"

Grandpa Tom, will you take me ziplining for REAL someday? Preferably in some really dangerous Latin American country? "Of course! Yes!"
 
WHEE!

 All in all, it was a wonderful weekend -- we missed you all as soon as you left!

Also, in the first photo in the group, with Hannah on the couch with C&C, Little C. Mary looks exactly like her mother!
