Kelvin's parents came up a little over a week ago for a 2-week stint up at our place, which they usually do once or twice a year. They are taking one of our vehicles back to OC as the Prius we passed on to them previously, which I drove throughout residency and our first few years here, is essentially dead.
We don't have a ton of pictures of the kids with them, as they fit in so seamlessly to our lives here that we forget that they're "special visitors" deserving photo documentation. Kelvin's mom stayed with us for about three months after Niall's birth taking care of him when I went back to work (and, in our old house, stayed with us until Iver was a year old!). Kelvin's Dad gets hard to work on house maintenance tasks (he apparently enjoys this, although it seems to me that he's overworking. I think he has a similar inability to sit still, thriving on "being busy/productive" like Kelvin!), and his mom loves cooking for the whole family, leaving me off the hook for meals! They are hugely helpful, feel very at home here, and love hanging out with their son and grandkids.
They'll probably depart to drive home this weekend, but the kids and we sure have enjoyed the extra help and their visit.
