More company, ahhh!

Well, we had MORE company over the weekend. Davy is now SIX weeks old, can you believe it? And in that time, my parents and Joey's two parents along with "stepmom" and his grandma have come and visited. My mom stayed the longest, and though she was very helpful, it was also time for her to go at the end of 3 weeks!

This weekend was Joey's mom and grandma. Joey's mom was just dying to come and see the new little one, and so was great-grandma. So they came.

(Took a break, Joey just brought me a chocolate Braum's shake, MMMMM!)

They came rather unexpectedly in a sort of way. We knew they were coming on Friday, but didn't know when. Christine (mom) was flying from South Texas to Wichita, KS and then picking up her mom Grandma Ellie and driving over here. They hadn't called all day. Then they called right before 6 to say "We're here!" They had gotten into Springfield but couldn't find our house. So Joey blitzed the living room while I hid things in the kitchen and hoped they would understand what it was like to drop in suddenly on a family with 2 little ones! It worked out okay, and we went OUT to dinner that night.

The weekend was alright, but to be honest, wasn't a lot of fun. It was a lot of cooking and cleaning, and being nice, and trying to make the kids stay clean and out of great-grandmas way so she wouldn't trip on them or the toys. It was nice to see them, but I was also glad when they left.
