Today is my second day as a mom of 2 and no one else around. Brad went back to work. My parents got on the "big plane and went to Utah" and I woke up Monday to the task of parenting these 2 sweet angels. It has been terrific and I have managed to survive. It was absolutely wonderful having my parents with us for 16 days. 16 wonderful days! My dad fixed everything from plumbing stuff to hanging hooks and pictures to making shelves and finding materials to make me some garden boxes for the summer. He just quietly went about his projects and it was a true treat to have him come along. I love this picture.
And how could I do with out my cute mom. The amount of laundry she did...! She cooked delicious meals for us and treats that I wanted. She played with Chloe (although sometimes not getting much love in return from our spirited 2 year old) She supported me and loved holding that new grand baby of hers. It was fun at night to play games all together and then to end the week with a grand Thanksgiving.
We're starting her young. She ran in her first fun run race on Thanksgiving morning. She actually ran most of it and crossed the finish line to many many people cheering her on. It was so cute. Her rosy cheeks were beaming with a proud smile and she passed me and my dad waiting for her at the end.
We discovered this cool outdoor nature place in Bloomington. I love this picture because of the great care my mom and I both took to make sure the deer and the raccoon made this self-timed picture.

Melanie- you look so great! What cute parents you have!
I adore your parents....and I've only met them once. Amazing people.
We want M to run a race too but they want 20 bucks at the next one. I don't think so!
You are such a sweet, positive person! My mom stayed for two weeks when I had my boys. I cried REALLY hard when she left:(
I bet you do miss them...but I am sure glad they are back home. Oh my heck how awesome do you look...way to go girl you are looking amazing. Can't wait to see you in a few weeks and hold that cute, cute baby.
