Meet the Grandparents

Today I was thinking about just how lucky Leah is. Leah doesn't know it yet but she is blessed. She has many people who love her so much already. My parents and Matt's parents are just crazy about her.

I didn't really have grandparents growing up. I have two grandmothers and never knew my grandfathers. Both my grandmothers live in Puerto Rico so I don't see them. Its nice to know that Leah will have the opportunity to know her grandparents.

Matt's parents are Ruth and George. They have been caring, nuturing and supportive of us and Leah. I don't know what we would do without them. Ruth cooked us meals to put in the freezer so we would have good home cooked meals for dinner and wouldn't have to cook them ourselves. She has made it all too clear that if I need anything she will be there. And she has been.

My parents are Wanda and Gil. Much to my pleasant surprise my parents have been wonderful. We haven't always had the best relationship and I was concerned they wouldn't be around but the exact opposite has happened. Today my sister Leilani and my mother came and helped get the apartment together. My dad had come out with Matt and they'd brought the crib and dresser home on Sunday. Leilani and Matt put the crib together. My mother put all the baby clothes away and cleaned the kitchen.

Its incredible how it all comes together in the end.

We are blessed to have such awesome parents. I can only hope to be half as great as our parents have been.

Here are my parents with Leah :D
