Dad and Linda's Visit

Dad and Linda came to visit for a few days. I wish they could have stayed longer, but their dog Noah and our Sammers don't get along. Well, Sammy didn't get along with him; I'm sure he'd been fine. So they had to board him while they were here. It was a quick weekend, but very full. They got here on Thursday afternoon. We went down to Jaime and Jeremy's on Friday night for a cookout. And on Saturday we did some shopping and went out for lunch. Linda found the cutest teethers at Target. One is shaped like a little hand, which is perfect because Nate is always trying to grab my finger and stick it in his mouth! The Toppe's came back up on Sunday to visit. Dad also helped me out with some stuff around the house, which I'm sure Michael will really appreciate a couple of things marked off his honey-do list. Lots of excitement and I'm exhausted. But it was so good to see them again and have them here visiting. I hope Nate didn't scare them off too much with all his fussiness. And hopefully we'll be seeing them again when we head up to Wisconsin this summer.

*On a side note, I took Nate to church on Sunday and left him in the nursery. It was the first time I've left him with someone that isn't family (and the longest). They have pagers so I felt better knowing if something was wrong they would page me. He did great! She said the two new babies did the best. And it's probably good for him to be around other people besides me. Although everyone in church was asking where he was, so I think next Sunday I'll bring him in for the first couple of songs in the beginning or come to church early.
