The Dahlquists visit Knoxville


Lincoln with cousins Emma, Ben, & Sydney

Two little boys from Utah came to visit us this month, and they brought along their parents, Cara and Will.  It was so much fun to pull out the bouncy seat for Spencer (age 4 weeks), and even borrow an infant seat for car rides.  We had a tiny baby in the house who slept in the same crib I slept in when I was a baby. Oh my, we love babies. We’re beginning to see what being great-grandparents will feel like in not too many more years.  Spencer’s brother, Lincoln, had the energy every two-year old has and every parent wishes they had.  Both were delightful, and we enjoyed their parents, too.  Here are pictures of some of the stuff we did.  We miss them already; can’t wait until we find occasion to visit them across the country so many miles away.  We wish they lived right here in the heart of Knoxville, TN.
