Visit from Grandpa Mark and Grandma 'Nae
October 19-24, 2011
After Stella was born my parents came to help out for a few days. I was really lucky, because we were't sure that we would get to have them come and help and it turned out Stella came at THE PERFECT time and they were able to come. The boys had so much fun playing with my parents and I was able to get a little more relaxing time in with them around. My parents took Jackson to and from school everyday (something that I am realizing is going to be my biggest challenge with Stella. My recovery etc, has been VERY smooth, but I am realizing the challenge with three is going to be keeping a tight schedule. I feel like with the other two I had to adjust to other things, but keeping a routine up, when I have no idea what Stella will be doing each day is a major challenge). Anyway, sorry for that tangent. It was great to have them here.
The boys enjoyed a trip to get pumpkins from the grocery store and a doughnut stop one of the days. Many trips down to the playground to play and Jackson loved showing them his school. Bennett followed my mom around every morning. He would sit by her while she got ready and play with her make-up bottles and "chat" with her (very unusual for the boy who tends to favor the males in the house rather than all of us females. ha.). I was sad to have them leave a few days after they got here. However I knew I needed to get things pulled together on my own again. I knew that whether they left a few days after they came or a month after they came I would never feel ready or want them to go. :) I also was able to take comfort in the fact they would be back in a month for Thanksgiving celebrations.
