For the past few weeks, Jonathan's parents have been here in Vegas for a much-needed visit. "Much-needed" because we missed them and they missed their grand-baby, and also much-needed because they drove all the way across country with a U-Haul to empty out our over-flowing garage (not much room for Jonathan's custom-made bar in this house) and bring us our much-needed stress-relievers: me, a treadmill, and Jonathan, a motorcycle.
Yep, that's me hanging off the back of a motorcycle with no helmet and flip-flops. But don't worry, we just went around the block.
Having them here was such a huge help. They took over feedings. . .
. . . and took the kids for walks. . .
. . . and generally just made it so Jonathan and I could get more of this. . .
. . . and more sleep leads to more enjoyable playtime with Matty and less stress. So thank you, Grandma and Grandpa, for doing so much to help us ALL out! :)
"Who you talking to, Grandpa?"
Jonathan worked most of the time they were here and they spent a lot of time enjoying the sights and sounds of Vegas, but we were able to get in a trip to Floyd Lamb State Park before they left. I've written about it before here; it's one of my favorite spots here in Vegas because you don't feel like you're IN Vegas. It's only a 10 minute drive from our house, but it feels like you're a million miles away. Bliss. And one of our favorite things to do there is feed the ducks.
Grandpa was the only one brave enough to let the ducks eat out of his hand. These ducks HISSED. I'm not kidding. Who knew ducks could HISS?!
Matty enjoyed watching the ducks, too. :)
Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa, for visiting! Come back anytime!
