In an attempt to eek out every bit of fun from our marathon visit with Granddad and Groovy, we made a quick trip to Sweet CeCe's ice cream shop after dinner tonight.

Oliver was, as usual, in high spirits and couldn't manage to stay still. Sweet kid. He was having such a fun time making his sister giggle and Hazel was in high heaven getting all kinds of attention from her big brother upon whom the sun rises and sets.

After enough shenanigans for one visit to the ice cream parlor I heard Ryan say to Oliver in a get-serious tone, "Alright, Buddy. Time to sit down and eat some ice cream."

Way to crack down, honey.

Of course, the kids weren't the only ones enjoying their Sweet CeCe's visit.

And even though ice cream is sweet, a lovely outing with the family is a hundred times sweeter!

P.S. I have something delightful to share with you all! We've been busy at work in the nursery and once we put in all the finishing touches, I'm excited to share what we've been up to!!

I love that story. You have such a gift for conveying small details of your family's life in a captivating way. Beautiful pictures too, as always.

that cracks me up. we say things like that all of the time. like "stop eating all of your fruit and eat some hamburger". Classic.
