Papa Comes to Town!

We were very blessed to have my dad visit for a few days at the end of my mom's trip. He happened to have a business trip to Texas and managed an extra-long layover in Denver.

Eli was well-dressed for Papa's arrival.

Eli's so big!! He can hold his bottle himself!

It was hard for the boys to say goodbye to Mama and Papa. Well, it was hard for Daniel and Caleb... Eli didn't show much emotion. But Caleb cried when they got out of the car at the airport. Daniel sat on Patrick's lap for about ten minutes after we got home and wiped tears from his eyes. He was trying to hard to be a big boy, but just couldn't stop those tears from flowing.

I'm so thankful my mom was able to be here. She kept Daniel and Caleb entertained (and fed!) and I appreciated having the time to focus on and bond with Eli. It's been a week since Mama and Papa left and I think we have all gotten through detox okay.
