My mom and dad have been here the whole first week of November. They came on the 29th of Oct and left Nov 6th. We have had a fantastic visit with them. The girls loved having them. They took turns asking Grammy or Grandpa Sam to sit by them at the table. They watched their every move. The girls loved jumping on Grammy's bouncy bed (when they left Brailie said "Grammy come back and bring bouncy bed please.") We loved having their help. My mom helped me organize my fabric scraps and cupboards, she played school and peoples and babies with the girls. She bought us a bunch of meat to fill our freezer (we are so thankful for that). She helped me make two huge batches of raspberry jam, we had a thanksgiving dinner, went to the park, took the girls shopping and then my mom and I had a shopping trip too (which I loved-shopping at our own pace and visiting-we stayed out way too late). It was so wonderful. My dad helped Greg fix our back step, put shelves in the gun cabinet he build in high school, chop wood and they went for lots of drives. I think they will probably get home and sleep for a week from the exhaustion of it all but we had a blast. I am so glad they came. It was not in the plans but i am glad we were able to change the plans and have them together. I knew my mom would come as often as possible but I didn't think my dad ever would and it was a real blessing to have him. Now we have to get back to real life-what a bummer. My parents play so well with the girls and are so generous too us-especially with compliments and praise. We don't get that enough so that has filled us up tremendously. Thank you both for coming. We love you.

| Swinging at the park (this didn't last long because of a cat incident-which my mom and I will not ever be allowed to forget). |
 |
| Tickling and marching on tummies |
 |
| Dad and Greg fixing our back step-hallelujah |
 |
| He is slower and more feeble but he still has some work left in him. |
 |
| More swinging-there is never enough around here. |

| What a fantastic picture. What a great visit. |

We had so much fun beigh with you and your family. Dad thanked my for taking him with me when we got home last night. He enjoyed himself, and it made him feel good to help Greg. We love you all and it is such a joy to be there and watch the girls and see how happy they are, and what a great job their parents are doing with them. We love you.
