Visitors and Ellery's 2nd Birthday!

My parents came to visit for Ellery's second birthday. My dad stayed the weekend, and my mom stayed for a whole week. It was so so so nice to have them. I can't even express my gratitude for all our family and how helpful and supportive and wonderful they've been, always, but especially now when I've not been well. My poor mama. I had a huge to do list all made up for her when she got to here. The thing is, my mom LIVES to serve. That's all she knows how to do. My entire life, my mother has been the least selfish person I've ever known. She always willing to help. I was really grateful for her to come and help me knock off all the stuff on my list I'd been putting off doing. And we just had a good time together. Miss my parents...
