Grandparents are the best!

There is a cliche idea that grandparents get to come in, spoil the kids, then leave and let the parents deal with the chaos they've created. Getting even? Maybe. But Gabriel and Hope have grandparents that know better. Either that, or they're just being good while they wait for a better time to come spoil the kids. No, for now, we have been amazed at how helpful they have all been! When Hope was born, Grandpa and Gram Gram were here to help out. We enjoyed three home-made meals a day, along with help cleaning and doing laundry! They also helped with Gabriel throughout the day, which was no small task since he had an ear infection and was cranky. Gram Gram even sanded and painted Hope's crib! Really, I think her new name should be "The Machine". She just goes goes goes, and never complains. I wish I had that type of energy! Having Grandpa and Gram Gram here was a blessing, and we enjoyed their company.

As I look through the pictures we took, I notice they mostly involve snuggling with a little bit of play mixed in. That pretty much describes the first two weeks after we brought Hope home from the hospital.






Look at these manly men!
