mom then dad

so my mom and stepdad charlie visited from friday evening to monday afternoon and my dad arrived in town monday evening and will be visiting during this week. we had a good time with mom and charlie in town and, most importantly to lindsay, charlie and i finally got the glass door put up. we had bought it last summer (lindsay really wanted it), but we had to add two inches of wood to the sides of the door frame to make it even with the top of the door frame. it was a challenge, but it looks great now. afterwards, we just tried to relax for the evening and we scarfed up some good salad and baked spaghetti prepared by lindsay. sunday morning was their first visit to our church, lunch was red lobster (lindsay and mom's birthdays are this week), and on sunday evening we went for ice cream at the new bruster's in town and jake thoroughly enjoyed his 'purple dinosaur' flavored ice cream (colored vanilla?). on monday, we grilled out some yummy burgers, beef dogs, and brats and topped it off with derby pie, a kentucky specialty that lindsay made for the first time (yum!).

dad rolled into town monday evening and we went for chinese food and some more bruster's. i think getting chinese food on the evening dad gets into town is becoming a tradition - this makes three times. this morning, dad went to visit the principals of the local elementary schools as he is seriously considering moving up here. he applied earlier in the spring, but in this backwards county the school board office said it'd be cool for him to just go talk to the principals. at lunch we went to look at some houses. jake loves seeing all his grandparents and i think he's going to stay home with dad on wednesday and thursday.
