They're here!

Mom and Pop arrived safely in Hyrum late yesterday (Monday) morning. They had a few hours to rest and relax before we got home but then Pop decided he wanted to get some exercise so he tackled the lawn and mowed the whole thing! That was GREAT because it needed it and because it freed Brandon up to mow the dog run and the west side weeds after he got home from work.

Pop made us the most beautiful cradle. It's absolutely gorgeous - a work of art. I think it's the same design as the one that he made for DJ and Michele when Chris was born. We're delighted to have it and will follow his wishes to pass it along as a family heirloom. But first we're going to use the heck out of it ;).

Brandon and I are both having to go to work each day while they're here so hopefully they won't get bored out of their minds. Joie, Brody & Bonnie can only provide so much entertainment. Today someone is coming to the house to install our new satellite dish and wireless internet connection (we finally got fed up with the bad customer service at Comcast), so that will provide a few minutes of distraction.

Pop and Brandon leave Thursday morning for the river. Mom and I will keep ourselves busy by attempting to paint the baby's room. Brandon and I got the guest bedroom painted and the office furniture moved into it just in time before Mom and Pop got here, so the old office is ready to be transformed.

Love to all of you!
