When Grandma's too busy....

...Grandpa has to babysit!

Lately, my mom has been overbooked for her babysitting services. My brothers and I are fortunate that our mom is able to babysit so much, but sometimes Grandma double books. When that happens, Grandma sends Grandpa Jim over to babysit our kids while she watches Ella and James' cousins at the farm. Ella and James love this and my dad seems to enjoy it as well. As an added bonus, Grandpa gets to watch cable T.V. while the kids nap. This is a treat as they don't get cable on the farm.

Grandpa babysat yesterday and when Mark came home, he took this picture. Both kids were enjoying some cuddle time with Grandpa. This past week has been hard on James. He had a lingering cold, is getting some new teeth and to top it all off, he got the stomach flu. He's still recovering and not eating or sleeping well. Lucky for James, Grandpa Jim was happy to snuggle with him for a while!
