Wonderful Visitors

I do not know how we would have made it through the past couple of months without our visiting family members. Mum came over from England for a month and took care of us all. She spent her days on Max duty and many long nights on Sam duty - as well as keeping the house in order and caring for me after the surgery. Max loved having Grandma here and whenever he needed something he would yell "maaaaaaaaaaaa" - he couldn't get the "Grand" part in there. We were heart broken to see her go but I'm sure she was glad to go home and get some rest.




Grandma and Grandpa Lassen came out to visit from Utah too. It was Grandma Bonnie's first time to Kentucky so Max was able to show her around and let her see all the horses (which Max thinks are cows and says "moo" as he drives past the fields). He also had a lot of fun giggling with Grandpa who makes him laugh a lot.

Auntie Chrissy came to visit us over Haloween - we love auntie Chrissy. And she loves those boys to death - it's probably good she doesn't live here bacause they would be spoiled rotten and eat slurpees for lunch every day. Max is a very bossy boy and Chrissy says she fears his wrath when he is disappointed so he usually gets his way. It's also pretty hard to say no to his pleading little face when he wants something. Sam developed a breathing problem shortly before Chrissy came which makes him snort like a little pig much of the time. It's nothing serious but it means he sometimes has trouble sleeping (the doctor said he may be allergic to Richard - oh dear). To give his parents a bit of rest during the night Chrissy would often take little piggy in the early hours of the morning which is usually his snortyest time. We had sooo much fun going out on adventures with Chrissy - especially at Haloween. More Chrissy to follow with the Haloween posting.

Chrissy has a pretty funny report of her visit on her blog - see link below:
