Five sets of hands are better than one

While I posted about Nate's blessing, I didn't say much about our weekend with The Griffeths. Wes' parents and our sister-in-law Leigh came last weekend. I thought it was pretty cool that even though Wes' brother Spencer couldn't come, his wife Leigh came anyway! It was great to see them & it was SO nice to have extra help. I was able to get a few things done without him in my arms. Like I said, five sets of hands are definitely better than one when a baby is involved.

We didn't do a whole lot....just enjoyed each other's company. We went out to eat a few times & took them to Golden Spoon. We also took them to Ethels Chocolate Lounge at the District for some fondue and we walked around so Nate could be outside ~ one of his favorite things. We played games & hung out around our house. Next time they come we'll try to have a few things planned. :)


Leigh is the BIGGEST Tennessee football fan so on Saturday we watched the game with her as we ate pizza and wings. Yum. I had to put Nate in his orange and white to support the Tennessee Vols.....even if Nate will grow up being a Georgia Bulldogs/BYU Cougars fan.


Sunday was spent with the actual blessing and then we went to my parent's house for a few hours in the evening so The Griffeths could see the remodel and we enjoyed sitting outside in their yard....something our house is lacking.
Thanks Robert, Doreen & Leigh for coming to spend time with us. We can't wait to see you guys again soon.


Nate playing with his two crazy grandmas.


He actually slept ALOT while they were here! Of course he behaves for company! If only he'd be on his best behavior when it's just mom.

Cute pictures!!! Wish we had been there! Olivia has the same orange striped Gap pj's...I'll have to take photos of her wearing them when they fit her.

Also, I LOVE Golden Spoon too!! The dad of one of my best friends is the man who started G.S. We've been going religiously since we were kids. We miss it so much out here!

That outfit is so cute=- his orange stripes! Looks like a little prison boy! =) j/k. It is forever fun when family comes to town to see your kids that don't live by you. Glad you are getting out of the house!

He is just so sweet- I love the last picture...of him sleeping!

It's so fun to have family in town! It is also fin to have both sets of grandparents together (Even if they "fight" over the baby). Maybe Rober and Doreen will start staying in town longer now that they have a grandchild to see... but who knows! They may keep doing the little trips!

Great pictures. Hope you all have a safe trip to Utah. I'm sure that Nate will be great.

You and Weston are wonderful people and great parents. It was such a joy to spend time with all of you. We can't wait til you come to Georgia!
