Kansas Highlights

Beth made Valentine gingerbread houses with the kids while Ben and I took way too long getting groceries.  The hard part about going back "home" is that you think you know where everything is, because you used to know where everything is, but everything has changed since you left and it leaves you very confused.

Charles and Alison quickly became best friends. 

 

Alison put a game on the iPad that they could play together and he LOVED that.

We went over to Lydia's for dinner one night.  It's always fun to see our kids love playing with each other, even though they barely see eachother.

Staying longer had it's perks.  Ben took both the boys to a KU basketball game!

Grandpa likes to keep you on your toes.  One day, he asked Alison to give him a haircut!
