happy 4th of july!! grandma val and grandpa don came to visit this morning. malloy was very excited that they were coming to visit. she was standing at the window asking "are they coming? are they here yet? are they far away? are they on our street?"  the kids had a fun time hanging out with their grandparents - reading books and playing with toys. this afternoon, we had a bbq with grandma val, grandpa don, uncle paddy and auntie andi, uncle matt, and our friend andrew. the kids swam in the pool and had a blast running all over the place all afternoon!
