Last weekend the Benders came down for a visit and this weekend, my family came down. Mom, Dad, and Emily got here early on Saturday to spend a couple of days with us. (Susan wasn’t able to come because Joshua and Caleb had their first basketball game Saturday.)
The main objective to their visit, other than just hanging out, was to finish Philip’s nursery. Wesley had painted the room, and I had organized what we had, but my mom was coming down with some special treats. She made the crib skirt and had figured out something cute for the window treatments.
After lunch, Wesley took charge of Jackson. His special assignment – somehow get him down for a nap with Mimi, PopPop and Emmie in the other room. It wasn’t easy but he succeeded!!
After Jackson went down, we all began working on the window treatment. Mom, Dad, Emily and I got it ready and Dad and Wesley put it up.

Wesley joked how many Jablonskis does it take to make a window valance? The answer: 4 on the bathroom floor! (it was the only room with enough clear space for us to stretch out the fabric!!)
Neither tasks were as simple as we had once hoped but once the window was done we arranged a few other things in the closet, decided on sheet colors, and then went downstairs to open some gifts they had brought from home.
Look at all these gifts!
Emily gave us some adorable clothes; my Aunt Alice had made Philip some booties using my Grandmother's pattern; and Mom and Dad showered us with tons of "Philip" items. She and Dad also gave us some other necessities including a new double stroller for the boys! How wonderful!
Clothes from Emily
Beautiful gown my mom made
The "Manly" diaper bag for Wesley
Philip's taggie blanket. Jackson has one like this that he loves and sleeps with every night. I wonder if Philip will like his as much?
Philip burp clothes We opened all Philip's gifts while Jackson was asleep because we knew he wouldn't be a fan of Philip getting all the presents. Once he woke up, it pretty much became all about him. My dad treated us all to dinner at Jackson's favorite - Chick-fil-a. Then we went for an after dinner snack of a Krispy Kreame donut. We all ended up enjoying this treat!
It was a quick visit but so much fun. What was more exciting was knowing the next time we would see them was when Philip was here!! Not too much longer!
