Mom Mom and Pop Pop Visit

Another exciting couple of days around here!  Kayden has been entertained by two of her favorite people: Mom Mom and Pop Pop!  Thankfully they endured my silly schedule of teaching in 2 places and my usual running around as well as Kris' many many phone calls and late nights.  We managed to squeeze in a trip to the park, a dance class and a meal at Eggspectation.  If you haven't tried it yet, they just opened last month at the Village at Leesburg and their extensive menu is sure to please. Plus, you can get breakfast all day....who can complain? Here are a few photos that show our adventures:

 

 

"Mom Mom you play with me?"

 

 

Funny....we couldn't figure out why Kayden was attached to Pop Pop the entire visit.  Could have been the popcorn bribery early on.

 

 

They told me they took her to the park....and yet this was was snapped somehow...was Kayden behind the camera while the kids played?

 

 

swinging with Mom Mom!

 

 

 

Showing us her yoga moves that her friend Priya demonstrated during class today!!

 

 

Ending the fun day with some brunch at Eggspectation!

 

 

It was sad to see them go, but Kayden has a new sheep friend "Wooly" (thanks, Mom Mom!) that will keep her talking until we meet again!

And then there was one.....

Just thought I'd share a first in the Johnson house today.  We had a leftover at breakfast. 

 

Can't believe this ooey gooey cinnamon goodie was passed over by Kris hollow-leg Johnson, Kayden Sweet Tooth Johnson and, well, myself.   Poor lil' guy. Maybe he'll get lucky later today? There's definitely a chance for him.
