We have a new pergola!
But the better part of this story is that Matt's grandparents (B & A's Great Grandparents, if you will), came out to visit! It was so nice of them to drive out here from Minnesota, we're so blessed that they were able to make it. They of course put the hard court press on us to move back to Minnesota where the family support would be abundant... and darn it if that doesn't just sound so amazing to us when I'm trying to cram work into every spare minute I have (or while Benjamin is watching Bubble Guppies... :-/). Thankfully, Mimi will be out here in just a few short days!
Here are a few pictures from their visit (I was busy with a few photoshoots, so I didn't take as many pictures as I'd like, but trust me - Benjamin had a ball!):
{Oh, and back to the pergola... Matt's handy Grandpa Jack drew up plans for us and we had my dad come down for some extra hands, and those three guys got the pergola built in two days (in the rain!).}
(This is what I was doing during all this manual labor:)
We also got to attend the very first church service at our new building in Uptown! It was awesome and we are so happy that it's open. :)
Avery sported the handband that Auntie Emma sent to offset the manly onesie we had her in for the Broncos game :)
And the boys still worked, rain and all:

| Benjamin put his shoes on himself... you may notice they are on the wrong feet. |
Meanwhile...
And this is how Benjamin spent his naptime... it was far too entertaining outside to take a nap!
It's done!
Testing out the setup:
Grandpa Jack even put together a play workbench for Benjamin with some of the scraps!
And we enjoyed one last meal together:
We love them so much and are so grateful we got to spend time together!
