And Now a Message From Our Sponsor
The Clampetts have arrived for a short visit before the builders come inside the house, which, although the builders had accidentally knocked a whole through the fireplace and had to brick it back up, will start next week.
My folks don't even mind that the babies are thoroughly cranky with teething and colds.
In fact, my dad read them 10 books yesterday, including an incredibly sweet one sent over by the babies' Obaba.
Of course, I do have to keep assuring them that no, they will not be taking the kids and adopting them and raising them in the Land of Plenty and Must See TV*.
Be back soon.

*If this teething hell doesn't end soon, I may just consider this option.

That just melts my heart. Grandparents are great!
Have a good visit!
I remember when getting that couch was a huge issue. And now look who you have on it! Congratulations, Helen. You sure have come a long way.
Posted by: Gal_from_Mich at April 19, 2008 12:02 AMYour stepmomma is absolutely beautiful, huh? Dad ain't bad, either, of course. And, no one, NO ONE, can compare to those babies.
Good luck, kiddo. And enjoy the 'rents while you got 'em there.

They are homeopathic and work great to soothe the soreness and quiet the cranky. Don't know if you can get them overseas, but I found them online. My kids actually love the taste and open their mouths when they see me coming with it. Good luck!

Posted by: caltechgirl at April 18, 2008 03:39 PMAre those the baby food storage cubes? You'll have to let me know how you like them.
Posted by: statia at April 18, 2008 02:26 PMLet us know how things go with your parents since you've had the little ones. I am curious to see if the previous issues are less of an issue, etc. I hope your visit goes well. I'll be thinking of you.

Posted by: Andria at April 18, 2008 01:49 PMI just love how involved your Dad is! What a gift. Your babe's are so loved.
Also,Helen, you ARE american.. Look at that TV in the kitchen! Love it.
Posted by: Christina at April 18, 2008 01:07 PMI too love the way she is reaching out, and how he seems so excited he doesn't know what to do with his.
(of course I am sure he is biting on those little hands because of the teething, but it looks cute from here-with no sound and all...) (;
Posted by: Teresa at April 18, 2008 12:57 PMSo sweet! I also love the little hands reaching out. I'm glad they came to visit for a while. Enjoy. :)
Posted by: Lisa at April 18, 2008 12:52 PM*lol* So should we call your dad Jed?
Posted by: ~Easy at April 18, 2008 11:39 AMLook at those precious little hands reaching up!
I must be getting old because just that makes me cry...! Ya know, in a good way... ;)
Hope you guys have a great visit!!
