(photo by Camden M. Arnett)My parents went back to Maine today, so the boys and I have been kind of down-in-the-dumps today. We had such a good visit with them ~ they arrived on June 1st, and having them here was just what we all needed. My parents are so laid back, good to me, good to the boys, and I love being with them. Camden and Griffin had some good sleepovers, mastered my mom's IPad, coaxed both of my parents to get in the pool with them, had some movie dates with them, Happy Meals every Tuesday night, foot rubs, endless amounts of ice cream, and Camden had a standing Tuesday night date with my mother to watch, "America's Got Talent". The boys were pretty much in and out of their house all day, every day, which is just how my parents like it. Riley got in on the action too ~ I think he stayed at their house about 95% of the time that they were here. He'd come home from time to time, but then would head right back next door, where Nana gave him biscuits (and always had a dish of food waiting on the window sill for Roy). My dad did some projects that Steve had been wanting done, and I am really thankful to him for that. Just a great visit. It went by too quickly, though. We miss you already!

Aw, so sad that they had to go, Heather. Sounds like you all had a simply wonderful almost-2-months together.
Sounds like a wonderful visit! That's so sweet that Riley and Roy even enjoyed having them next door! Your mom and dad are awesome - always have been! :)
I'm glad it was such a good visit. Love the longer hair!
I'm sorry for you and the boys that it's over. But, BOY are you lucky to have so much support right in your own back yard. Good for you. Sounds like it was wonderful for all!
Kate I decided not to cut my hair while Steve was deployed, because, you know, I had to have a goal. Ha! Emily, you are right, I was so lucky to have them here - - all of my family lives on the East coast so having family here for us has been wonderful.
Your parents are so great - I'm so glad they were able to stay next door for a good part of the summer - it sounds like you and the boys had a great time with them.
I like the long hair too! I think that's the longest I've ever seen it.
