This past week Brian went to Canada on a business trip. He was gone from Wed to Sat night and I had prepared for the worst. I think in the end it was harder on him than on us! I have such a wonderful family that stepped in and helped me in so many ways to make the week so much fun. My sisters family helped out with a big Ninja Turtle Birthday party for Noah. It was so well planned and the boys had a blast bouncing in the Rocket ship and squirting Shredder with water guns.
I have to mention how amazing my parents have been this week and over the last few years of my life. I was so reminded these last few days of how fortunate I am to have such a wonderful father and mother. They are such "doers", my dad spent two days cleaning my yard and building the boys a new swing set from scrap wood, which they adore and oocupies them for hours at a time. The slide is so wide we can race all the lightening mcqueen cars down it at once!! On Friday night they both came over and helped me clean the house, my mom emptied my tub full of laundry and my dad did the days worth of dishes. They played with my boys and called to check on me, changed diapers and anything else that I needed. And this is simply this week. We don't know where we would be without them and the countless hours of help they have given us with all my pregnancies and various medical needs that we have had. I love them so much for honoring my choice of husband and having such great love and patience with the boys. I am so glad they are close especially at this time in my life. Thanks Grandma and Papa!!!!
I think Ben looks so old in these pics. He loved hanging out with his buddy Caitlyn and the seniors couldn't get enough of them!
