On July 10th, I underwent gallbladder surgery. Luckily for us, my parents just happened to have a visit scheduled for that weekend. Thankfully, they were able to change their flight and fly in the evening of my surgery. They were incredibly helpful during my recovery period. Their being here allowed Matt to go to work for a few days. Both helped so much with taking care of Kinley, helping with home chores, and TLC to me that only a Momma can give. :) Kinley LOVED having them there. She knew Mommy had "ouchies" and couldn't lift her but didn't fully understand why. I am SO thankful to my mom, dad, and of course my amazing husband for all their help during my recovery.
Kinley had so much fun playing tea party with Grandpa, reading books, and playing with Gma & Gpa. She has been saying "Paw-Paw" for Grandpa for a while but during this trip started saying "Maw-Maw" for Grandma. Needless to say, my mom was thrilled. It was adorable because Kinley would run around the house yelling "Maw-Maw, Paw-Paw" looking for both of them. One afternoon when I was feeling pretty good, we went to the park near our house. K and Grandpa had fun sliding and swinging. Gpa & Gma also took K to the Children's Museum one morning. It was such a great visit even though it wasn't the best of circumstances.

Dig, Dig. She was strong enough to lift the scoop
but not quite good enough to handle the levers yet |

This spoiled girl got a new slide toy while
Gma & Gpa were here. |

Smile! This is the best we could get with the bow in |

Much happier with bow out!
Love how happy Gma looks while looking at the K. |
