my parent's bi-annual visit wrapped up a couple of weeks ago, and looking through these photos make me appreciative all over again about how they get to come stay with us for a little while and weave themselves into the rhythms of our daily life.
both my parents are so good at just plopping down on the floor and playing and reading with the kids.
after church one sunday.
ken took them to have his favorite latte at alchemy.
random run to target, just us!
we had a bounty of fruit and vegetables sitting in the middle of the dining table while they were here.
i made this blood orange upside down cake while my parents were here and they liked it so much i ended up making it 3-4 more times (with regular orange and also with pear).
matching pajamas that my mom brought the girls from korea! korean pajamas are the best.
my dad safeguarding sloane's tiger for her.
the girls often ended up in my parents' room at the beginning and end of each day; talking, playing and being read to. i love coming upon scenes like this.
a cozy scene from one of the weekends.
on friday evening, we set aside time for an art session where we each worked on a piece of art (the girls made several pieces each, of course) and it was so much fun! especially because it was my dad's first time really drawing or painting like this, so it was special for all of us to do it together.
we visited the new Institute of Contemporary Art that opened up a few months ago, and got to listen to a wonderful performance by the First African Baptist Choir in this beautiful space at the top of the museum.
this was the elevator!
my very cute parents.
my dad took this one of me.
and then back to the train station to see them off to nyc so that they could visit my sister up there. sad to see them go and so happy to have time together!
