Papa and Nana came for a week to meet Major and help me out, and what a help they were! They held the baby, watched him, let me take naps, made dinner, played with Eli and Brady, did the laundry, went grocery shopping, took us where ever we needed to go, and basically did a little bit of everything! It was so awesome to have them here, and I was so sad to see them leave. I wish we lived closer, but I am thankful for the time that we do have together. Thanks for a fantastic week, mom and dad, YOU ARE THE BEST!

We got our meal "family style" so that we could try a little bit of everything. It was delicious and Major slept through the entire meal, which means I got to eat it! YAY! (Nana was taking the picture, that is why she isn't in this one.)
