Best 2 Weeks EVER!

Tear...sniff, sniff.

That's how I felt when my mom and dad went back home.

But...

It was so awesome having them come and stay for a while.

Here's why:

1-Cause every new mom needs her own mom.

2-Kamden got SO much love and attention. My mom took him on walks every morning, to the swimming pool & my dad shared chocolate muffins, Diet Pepsi (what every 2 year old needs)

& let Kamden be his shadow.

3-My mom cooked, cleaned, organized, and totally pampered me.

4-I could actually leave the house. You know, it's really hard going anywhere with 2 kids and being the only adult. (I still haven't done it by myself)

It wouldn't be complete if GG didn't paint Kam's nails.

Kamden has a bit of a nail biting problem so my mom painted his nails a light blue color.

It was supposed to be incentive to not put his hands in his mouth. It lasted about 5 minutes but it was worth a shot.

There are 2 things that terrify me about newborns.
Giving them their first bath and cutting their nails.
Mom to the rescue!

I promise, I've had his hearing checked.Sweetest baby boyKamden is SO good with him.
He loves to watch him.
(Newborns are very entertaining don't ya know? All that sleeping)

It was my mom's birthday & my parents anniversary while they were here.

So, we did our nails. I splurged and we got french tip nails from Walmart.

Only the best!After my mom had been here about 1 1/2 weeks, my dad came.

Wow, Kamden thought he was about the best thing since sliced bread.

I was a little worried that Kamden would be shy and take a while to warm up to him.

Nope.

When my dad went to sit outside, Kamden went.

Actually, whatever my dad did, Kam had to do it right alongside him.

You see the duck Kamden is holding? One day when my mom took him swimming, (I was lucky enough to sit on the side and sweat with my feet dangeling in the water) there was this nasty little fish toy with a missing eye. I guess they don't make eye patches for plastic-toys-left-at-the-pool-gone-bad. We found this rubber ducky in Bath & Body. Kamden wanted one of each color but we told him to pick one. He REALLY wanted the pink one. However, the blue one was much cuter and much more manly. I would have let him get the pink one but it really was an ugly pink. He loves that duck and he LOVES yelling QUACK, QUACK. thanks momMy dad was so cute with Mac. He just couldn't believe how small he was. We all forget how tiny and precious newborns are.

He was content to sit outside, hold Mac and read his book.

Thanks Dad Greensboro Grasshopers Game

McKay is so precious. It was so fun showing him off to all the people sitting around us. I love Kam's face in the background.

They took such good care of us. Kamden I think misses them the most. When he hears Jeff come in the door, he says, "GG". The first night after they left, he came in our room asking for GG and a few days ago when he woke up from his nap, Jeff was home. I said, "Guess who's here." He said, "Gapa!" nope, just dad.

Mom & Dad: Jeff & I know how lucky we are to have such good parents. (both sets)

Thank you so much for coming.

For your support.

Advice.

& Friendship.

It's hard living so far away from family and having them come visit was the BEST!

Plus, we get to see EVERYBODY in a month so that makes it easier.
