Thank you, Grandpa & Grandma!

As you know, we have many home projects underway as we anticipate the arrival of baby number three sometime in the next 8 weeks. We've tried working on them as we can but our time has been very broken. Getting all the painting supplies out for the hour I sneak in the afternoon (while Noah is in his room and Benjamin is napping) is hardly worth it. And while I am not sick anymore, I am usually wiped out by 9:00PM. So, Grandpa & Grandma Randolph & Uncle Scott came down to help out. They took the boys for two nights and one day so we could work uninterrupted. And thanks to them, we actually finished a room! While we were busy painting and hanging shades, they were living it up at the farmer. Grandpa had never been and Grandma thought it was a toss up as to who was enjoying himself more - Noah or Grandpa. And as if the farm was not fun enough, the boys also got to go to 'Oklakoma'! Since returning from our vacation, Noah has asked daily if we could just go to a hotel. "We could go to "Oklakoma" and get in our beds and take a nap. (Editor's Note: We stayed at a Comfort Inn in Oklahoma City. Now whenever he sees the sign for the Comfort Inn he says, "Look, mom! Oklakoma!") So when he found out that was where Grandpa & Grandma would be staying (as our guest room is one of the rooms under construction), he just had to go. Christopher and I tried not to feel badly about ourselves as we'd load up the boys at bedtime and send them on their way all waves and smiles. From the looks of it, a good time was had by all. So once again, thanks again, Mom & Dad for coming down, watching the boys, and allowing us to make some progress on the house.
