Oh, I could just kick myself for not taking more pictures while my parents were here! I don't know what was wrong with me... usually I'm so good about it! We had such a nice visit, though. My mom was here for almost a month and my dad flew in for the last week that Mom was here. The boys definitely kept them busy with lots of playing and that was such a help to me! My mom babysat a few times so Phil and I could go out at night and helped me in so many ways with the boys (most importantly holding Reid and keeping him happy!). I really enjoy her company and love just having her around. My dad helped Phil and I with lots of odds and ends around the house, including moving some boulders around in my flower beds and staining our fence. It was so nice to see him so relaxed and happy. His job is really stressful so we were glad he got this time to just hang out and unwind a little. We really didn't do too much of anything exciting - just lots of playing outside, a little camping, and enjoying our evening gin and tonics! :) We did go out to eat together one night to celebrate my parents' 38th wedding anniversary. 38 years... how awesome is that?? We met some of our friends at our local martini bar after dinner for a drink and to be in a commercial for the place. HA!! It will be interesting to see it if/when it airs!
Here's my dad taking a turn with the fence staining. We used a dark brown and it really looks so nice. Much, much better than before.
Here's Phil and I taking an alone trip up to Home Depot. :)
Here's my dad snuggling with the boys and playing his little Tetris game...
And some nice pictures on the morning before they left...
I cannot express how much I loved having you here, Mom and Dad! We all did! Thanks so much for all of your help and for making the long trip to come spend time with us. We love you so much!
