Before the out of towners went home...

Here is everything else that happened while Kimberly was still in town with her kids.  It was really, really, really wonderful to have her help.  I am so glad that Max came at the beginning of her visit.  She helped take care of Max, she helped take care of me, she cleaned (I especially loved that she cleaned my bathroom), she cooked for us, she cooked freezer meals that we could have later, she shopped, and I couldn't have made it through without her.

Before - starting skin to skin with daddy

After - skin to skin with daddy

Kaitlyn loved holdin Max.  She reminded me so much of myself at her age - I just loved babies and wanted to be holding them as much as possible.  She was great with Max and so cute!

Tummy Time!

Here's a video of Max sleeping - I think he is so adorable when he's sleeping.

All done with his bath



He was a happy camper after that bath.

My babe all swaddled up like a Chipotle burrito.

On Saturday we ventured back out again as a group.  We headed to the park for the kids to burn off some energy.  We walked around for a bit.  However, it was crazy hot (over 100, of course) and I still was feeling some pain from my incision so Peter and I didn't last very long so we hung out in the nice cool car while Kimber and Britt took their kids to play in the water.

Peter and Tyler with Max - we are ready to go to the park! Let's see this awesome stroller at work.

He slept through our walk through the park

After such a hot day at the park, we went for a treat - Snow Cones!  I hadn't had a snow cone all summer, what a travesty!

Snowcones make us happy!

Have our tongues changed color?

That night we all went out for some authentic Texas barbeque at Spring Creek.  It's so great to spend time with my sisters and their kids.

Sadly, the Amos family couldn't stay forever and had to go back home on Sunday.  I was so sad to see them go.  I really hope we can convince them to move to Texas.  Peter took them to the airport and also took Max with him so that I could get some sleep.  It was the first time Max was ever more than a room away from me.  While I enjoyed the chance to sleep, it was nice when they got back home.

We will miss you Amos family!!!!  Please come back soon.
