Mummi and Ukki visit


Jarad's parents came to visit us for two weeks after Archer arrived. By chance (since we didn't know exactly when Archer would arrive), they arrived the day after we returned from the hospital, which was the same time that Camille's parents arrived in NC after Avalon was born. Avalon was exactly one week late and Archer was exactly one week early.

Jarad's parents were a tremendous help. They helped us out by playing with Avalon, getting up with her in the morning, changing her diapers, giving her baths, and also with Archer by holding him and changing his diapers. They helped by making the meals, doing the dishes, cleaning the kitchen, watering the garden, picking up toys, etc. The list goes on and on, but you get the idea. Thank you so much for all your help!

Here are some fun pictures from their visit:

When Mummi and Avalon would play outside, they made up a game called "Fall down." Here's an action shot of it:

Mummi and Ukki gave Avalon a new sticker book, which she loves and spent many hours playing with it:



Avalon would constantly ask Mummi to "watch videos" of herself on the computer:
