Look who's in town!

I was surprised to see a van parked in our driveway yesterday afternoon when I arrived home from the hospital. Not being a particularly observant person (!), I never even noticed the Texas license plate. Grandpa Jones opened the garage door with Nathan Paul in his arms! Oh my! I don't think you can begin to imagine my surprise.
Rachel and the kids drove from Texas to Michigan and arrived "home" Monday evening. She said she kept saying to the kiddos that they were "going home to see TWO grannys and TWO grandpas!"
When I arrived home at 3:00, they had already been with Grandpa Jones for a few hours and were busy playing in the family room.
Look! Can you see the stuffed bear just on the left side of this picture? Nia now has her own baby Boo ... which kind of replaces her three silky baby blankets she used to cart around with her. Nia seemed to enjoy all of our toys very much!
And our terribly neglected train table FINALLY had someone to play with it yesterday! It's been a few months since anyone cared at all about it!
How long are Rachel and the children going to be in town? She thinks until the middle of next week some time. It's very nice to see all of them looking so good! Such beautiful little faces! And Lottie is the smiley-est baby ever!
Grandpa Jones said when Nathan first got out of their van he told him they had a train in the back of their van for us! He was so excited to show Grandpa Jones. Look at the brand new train car for the Jones family train!
What a beautiful addition! And how happy we are that baby Jeremiah's car can be right where it belongs!
Wasn't it nice of Rachel to have Jeremiah's little car all ready and to deliver it in person to our house?!
