Snuggling with Grandma

It was wonderful to have my parents here to help out and spend time with us again! They arrived on Tuesday in time to see Todd before he left town and stayed for a full week. It was their first time in our house since we moved in and they came prepared to work. The second day they were here my Dad headed to the hardware store to stock up on supplies and upgrades for our home. In the time they spent here they (with some guidance and minimal help) re-organized the garage, girls closets and drawers, and kitchen cabinets, cleaned the house, took the protective fence in the backyard down, seeded and watered 2x a day for grass, mowed the lawn 2x, replaced light bulbs and light fixtures, hung mirrors and bathroom cabinet, cut, primed, and installed vertical supports for the deck railing, sprayed the house perimeter for spiders and ants, pulled and sprayed for weeds and dandelions, and much much more, not to mention the fact that they watched the girls for 3 days while we were in DC for the wedding. Aside from the house improvements and babysitting, we miss their company already. They also stayed just in time to witness Robin’s first steps – she took steps one and two a few days ago and a fearless 6 steps after dinner on Monday. Hooray for parents and grandparents!!!
