It Takes a Village

Michael and I are very lucky to have so many hands-on grandparents to help care for Grayson and give his parents a break. The last several weekends we've hosted Michael's parents as well as my dad and Susan, all of which provide lots of entertainment and love for their grandson.

Then my mom and Carl kept Grayson overnight last night so that Michael and I could have a proper date night and actually sleep in for the first time in a very long time. At first we were slightly paralyzed by the freedom of a child-free Friday evening, but we managed to have fun and we were beyond excited by the idea of sleeping in on Saturday morning.

We are now rested and ready to tackle the state fair tomorrow afternoon. Thank you to our family for giving us the much-needed breaks! They definitely help make us better parents and we get the added benefit of our son not only bonding with, but adoring his grandparents.
