Aunt Ashley & Aunt Allison's visit

Grandma & Grandpa have been in town visiting us. They were kind enough to drive up to BWI airport to pick up Aunt Ashley & Aunt Allison Thursday evening. Their flight got in a little after 8:00, and they made their way down to Alexandria to meet their nephew. They walked in the door - and this is what Mark & I saw for the next 5 minutes before they even said hello to us.

It was great having them in town! They were on night duty for us, and took care of Jim - which was great! It helped Mark & I make the adjustment to parenthood a lot easier. They slept downstairs in the living room with Jim in his Moses Basket. They would bring him upstairs for me when it was time for him to eat. It definitely was a much better adjustment from our first night home with him.

We really didn't do a lot when they were here except for enjoy our time together! And get used to being parents. And we took lots of pictures!!! Friday we took our first walk together! Jim enjoyed that, until we got almost home and went over a bump that woke him up. We also hung out outside - playing some cornhole together. It is nice that the weather is good and we can enjoy some time outside!

Sunday we gave Jim his first bath. I know, we're bad parents, waiting that long to bathe him. But we were going to do it earlier but then something would come up, or he'd fall asleep. He seemed to enjoy it! And was very cuddly after it was done!

It was very sad to see the girls go on Monday morning. (Again a big thanks to the parents for getting up at 4:45 to pick them up to drive them up to BWI!) Jim is going to miss his Aunts! And Mark & I for sure are very appreciative for all they did for us!
