Keeping Us Company

After hearing that the surgical rotation (which Sean is currently experiencing) is fantastically time-consuming, mom became concerned that I'd be needing some help while Sean was busy at work. So she planned a trip out to give me a hand (what a nice excuse to satiate her twin boy cuddle craving).

She chose last week as the time to come, which was quite fortuitous. Seeing as Sean worked 75 hours last week, Sunday to Friday (which fittingly ended with an unexpected 18-hour day)! Not to mention the daily commute.

It would have been a little lonely 'round here.

I think Liam and Dash liked having some new faces to greet them.

Not to mention having someone new to play with!

Because these boys really like to play.

Oh, did you know they liked to play? They do.

Dad tried to reinforce proper Pogo-petting etiquette. Those floppy ears are just so temptingly grab-able!

It was nice for me to not be the sole victim of their sharp little teeth.

Yes, he has a problem.

No, just kidding. Dad's actually being very inventive. In order to make use of the last dregs of syrup clinging to the sides of the bottle, he poured milk into the bottle for a little chocolate milk. And why dirty a glass when you've got a handy dispenser ready to use?

I'm sure there's an equally logical explanation for this decision.

I must say that my parents thoroughly enjoyed my kids and my kids thoroughly enjoyed my parents.

And my dear hubby is so glad that the three of us had such wonderful company.
