Mom & Dad save the day!

Mom & Dad came to visit us in Boston ... - well, I guess I should start saying "North Attleboro".... this past weekend. They came in on Friday evening and stayed with us through Monday morning. We did a lot of work- on Saturday Dad & I walked around the house looking for what projects needed to be done while Felix was at practice & mom was knitting. We went shopping for all necessary materials, then all of us went to look for a crib & dresser for the baby's room.
Sunday we got to work- put up shelving in the laundry room, fixed doors & windows, installed light fixtures in the ceiling and a fan in the living room. I think the VERY BEST thing dad was able to do was show us that we actually have heat in our master bathroom! I never knew what all those light switches were for :)
Dad was also able to help us connect all our lighting outside so we can now see when we come home at night, and he helped us figure out what all the random light switches in the house went to. Lastly, he shaved down my closet doors in the bedroom so they actually close. What a productive weekend! He was also able to walk around our 100+ year old house and figure out how it was "originally built"- pretty cool to figure out the history of this cozy home of ours.
Mom spent the weekend shopping with me, helping us pick out an outfit to bring our new baby girl home from the hospital in, and she even knitted a precious little hat for the baby.
We were so so so busy, yet it was the most relaxed I have felt in a long long time. Parents are something special, huh!!!! I can't wait to do the same for our kids.


Mom has more pix on her camera from their visit- I'll post them later.
