a walk in the park

Tom's parents came to visit baby Dean! They were here when he was just over two weeks old. They stayed with us for a week. We were so glad they were able to visit so they could meet their grandson! Thomas is an only child, so this is their first grandchild. Needless to say, they were as excited as we were. Now, we Skype with them nearly every day so they can see Deano's growth and so they don't miss him (as much).

Their visit was great. I was so grateful to have them here because they completely took care of all our meals and the cleaning and made it possible for Tom and I to have a few minutes of just us again. We miss them now though. While they were here, we took Dean on his first walk. Of course, we went to the Mesa LDS Temple. What better place to take someone so close to Heaven already? We may have checked on him A LOT during our walk, even though the sweet little baby never woke up.
