No more helpers. They're all gone. Chris' parents have come and gone. They've actually been gone for a few weeks now but I'm just now getting around to blogging about the visit. They were excellent helpers. It was so nice to have the house cleaned without me having to do it. His mom is a cleaning machine. Not to mention a pie making machine. His dad was a baby burping and putting baby to sleep machine. Okay, enough with the machine talk. They also babysat and let me take naps during the day. The kids and I both loved having them here. That pretty much sums up the best 2 1/2 weeks with the in-laws.
I'm on my own now. Just me and my 3 kiddos. We've had our ups and downs but mostly we are doing great. Not a well oiled machine yet, more like a slightly lubricated and half working machine is an accurate description. We'll get there though. In the meantime, I'm just trying to enjoy each day with my wonderful children. They are growing up so quickly. Lila is repeating everything she hears. I often hear her singing the ABC's or 'I am a Child of God'. She is a great big sister and still my little helper, when she wants to be of course. Calvin is like a pin ball, bouncing from one thing to the next. I don't see him slowing down any time soon. His smile and laugh make up for it a little though. He is communicating more and has added Toy Story character names to his vocabulary. Woody and Buzz are talked about all day long. Emmett is sweet as can be. He makes cute noises and has a smile that is contagious.
