This past week has flown by. We had a number of visitors and house guests. Last Wednesday, Elin and Max flew in town. Max was disappointed Eli was not home when we they arrived, they whole day Max was asking when Eli would be home. Elin cooked us dinner every night, it was great and I aquired some new recipes. Unfortunately the weather was not the best when they were here. Our cousin Roselle was supposed to arrive on Thursday, but her flight was with American Airlines, so it was cancelled until Friday. Eli and Max were able to play all day on Friday, they played well together, then would fight the age difference was apparent. Keenan had the baby acne pretty bad this week, I avoided taking pictures of him, so sad.
Mom and Dad arrived Friday night in time for dinner. Eli and Max were so excited to play with them. I was exhausted all weekend. I did not get as much rest as I needed. I have been weaning from the pain meds. Saturday I tried to sleep in. Aaron and I spent most of the morning in bed. I did get out and took Elin and Roselle to the plaza to shop. I was just going to drop them off, but I did hit some stores with them.
Sunday Elin and Max took off in the evening. I think they were both ready to leave. We really appreciated their help all weekend. I felt bad we were not really able to do anything really fun together.
Monday my parents left after breakfast so Roselle and I enjoyed the nice weather and went to lunch at Blue Koi. It was great! Then we did a little shopping before we picked up Eli from daycare. That evening, we met my friends for pedis and dinner to celebrate Rhonda's b-day. Rhonda wanted to eat at Cheesecake Factory. We had a lot of fun.
The next morning, I took Roselle to Hi Hat, my first "walk" since the surgery. It was not a long one, we drove part of the way. Her friend picked her up after lunch, she was going to spend a few days with their family before heading back home.
I really enjoyed the family time, but was excited to have the house to myself. I need the alone time, especially to nap!

I'm glad you're getting out. It's good that the weather is starting to get nice. We might be up there on Mother's Day weekend to visit Alex's family. if so, we definitely want to see Keenan (and you guys of course as well :)).
I know you said you didn't get as much rest as you needed, but you must be catching up on SOME sleep if you're going shopping! lol Glad you and Aaron got to rest in bed one morning. That sounds nice - although I realize even "resting" is still work when you're listening for the mew of a lil babe. Can't wait for more update pics!
It sounds like things are so busy with you guys! Hope all is well and hope you can get some rest, too!
