John Visits

My wonderful nephew, John, came to visit us on Sunday and stayed until Wednesday!!! We just love having John at our home. We went to the Opryland Hotel and walked around. Believe it or not, I have never walked around Opryland. It is pretty amazing. John said he will stay there before he dies. Then we walked over the Gibson store at the outlet mall. The next day, we just went to music stores that John wanted to look around in. He is a great musician, playing guitar, drums and keyboard. Mary Paul was great. For dinner last night we went to Peter's for sushi...delicious!!! No, John is not in a jungle, just the Opryland Hotel.
John was great with Mary Paul, pushing the stroller and getting her our of the car when I never even asked him to. Mary Paul called him Big John.

Mary Paul finger-painted for the first time. I found a cheap canvas at Big Lots and she had a blast. Paint was everywhere. I am wondering if the Museum of Modern Art would be interested in our budding talent.

How fun!!! That painting is too cool. It does look like one of the paintings in the museum. I am so glad that John had a good visit, sounds like you got to do a lot. What a great tradition!

This is a great idea Ryan! Mary Paul is going to love seeing her artwork in the years to come! It's so cool to see the artwork of children before it's representational. Everything still means something to her!
