My parents and sister came to visit this past weekend. To show our appreciation of the time and gas they spent on driving down here, we put them to work. (In our defense, they volunteered to come help with baby-related preparations).
We worked all day Friday and Saturday on projects centered around the new housemate Victoria and I are getting in November. We painted the nursery, installed crown moulding in the nursery, assembled the baby's crib and dresser, and cleaned and re-sealed the deck (nothing says "Welcome Home, Newborn" like a water-tight deck).
It wasn't all work and no play, though. We enjoyed some dining out, a trip to the Smithfield outlet stores, and we took in the new release, Mama Mia. I plan on drawing on some of the ABBA songs still stuck in my head from that movie when I have to sing my little one to sleep some day. "You are the Sleeping Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen (months)..."
Many thanks to Mom, Dad, and Anno for the visit and all the help!
