Kathy came for a week right after the birth and was super supportive, helping drive the bigger kids around to their activities, cleaning up after them, shopping for me, etc. She even got to hold the baby a little. It was fabulous help. We missed Grandpa Ken though.
The same day that Kathy left to go home my parents arrived to take care of us. They were here for a week too. They did lots of cooking, playing, shuttling kids to & fro, shopping, cleaning, etc. All the good stuff that keeps a household like ours rolling along.
It was really nice to get to spend some time with all of them, and so fun that they got to be with Lucy when she was so small. It's a special time when babies are so little, even though they don't interact much.
We're grateful to have such awesome parents that care for us so much and sacrifice so much for us.
