Grandparents Come to Visit

Grandparents are the best!

I'm not sure exactly how I feel about not having my mother with me from the very beginning of labor and through delivery. I had wanted to have her there, but in the end I think that things worked out great.

My family was in SLC for my cousins wedding and to pick up Colin from the airport, he was in Costa Rica the week before I delivered. My parents weren't able to make the drive up to Cheyenne until Monday afternoon.

That being said Chris, Lila and I had been at home for one night already and were starting to get settled in at home. By the time that my parents arrived on Monday night we felt comfortable being at home and happy to have them there.

My parents stayed until Thursday and while the trip was short it was so nice to have them visit us. My mom was really helpful and sewed a few things for Lila and my dad installed a garbage disposal and helped to fix out tub with Chris. I wish that we lived closer to them and could see them more often, but Cheyenne isn't forever and hopefully we will end up being closer to them eventually.


A week later Chris's parents drive out from Idaho to come and see us. We had a really great time with them.

We went to the train museum here in town.

Then we went to the park to see this huge steam engine.

 We got together with some friends for the Fourth of July and had a BBQ at out house. Then we went to watch the fireworks just up the street from us at Lions Park.

 The fireworks show was pretty awesome. I didn't take any pictures of it though because I was holding a screaming baby who eventually fell asleep in my arms. 

Grandpa did hold Lila, but it was while I was sleeping and so I only have a picture of grandma holding her. 

So, both of our parents were able to make it to see Lila, which I'm really happy about. I just can't wait for the rest of our families to see her. Especially my brothers because they are now uncles for the first time and that is pretty cool. :-)
