I have to make a quick state before I talk about my mom and dad's visit. If you read this, pretend you didn't, or don't tell my mom you saw the pictures. She's going to kill me. She told me specificaly not to post the last photo, but I thought it was a good picture.

My mom and dad were here for a short weekend, but it feels like we did so much. We went shopping. My mom and I did a LOT of shopping. It was great. We went to church, which my mom and dad got to go with Chris' parents, so they met some adults their age....maybe a little bit younger. We ate out. (Carter playing with chop sticks), we tried on lots of clothes, went to Target a few times, and my mom and dad bought us way too much stuff. But it was all so appreciated.

They flew Southwest this time, instead of DFW's American. Chris and I are starting to think about switching our loyalties to Southwest. It's in Dallas, so it's a little farther, but no cost for bags, which with one kid and one on the way, we really have to think about that. To portland we would fly a 737 not an MD-80, which I am tired of flying in. And it seems southwest always has $99 specials. I just hate driving in Dallas.

Anyway, I loved having my mom and dad here. Carter loved it too. I can't wait to see them again soon. Much love.
