Family Visit

My family came to visit for a couple of days near the end of spring break. I spent the first part of the week cleaning and running errands so that everything would be ready when they got here. My dad had only been to my house once ever, my mom hadn't been in 2 years, and my sister had never been. My nephew, Kendall, was the one who had been the most!
They left Alabama late Wednesday afternoon and began their long drive to Texas. They spent the night somewhere in Louisiana and got up early Thursday morning to finish the trip. My dad is a truck driver, so it was easy for him to follow directions to get here. They made it here just after noon. My mom and I made some spaghetti and we had a nice lunch catching up.
After lunch we decided to take Kendall to Old MacDonald Farm since we were waiting on Matt to get home from work. Kendall has been to Old MacDonald everytime he's visited and he loves that place. My sister, Teresa, is also an animal lover so she had a great time too.
When Matt got home, we went out to dinner at Rico's. My family loves to eat Mexican when they come to Texas.
On Friday, the boys stayed with Matt and my mom, sister, and I went shopping. Our first stop was Babies R Us. My mom bought us a pack and play and I bought some other stuff with money my mom brought from the people she works with.
After that, we went shopping at nearly every store in Humble and Atascocita, or at least it felt that way! It was after five o'clock when we got home and I was exhausted.
Teresa wanted pasta for dinner so we went to Zio's. I love Zio's! I think everyone did.
Saturday everyone slept late because Friday had been such a long day. When everyone was finally up and ready to go, we went to breakfast at Denny's. When we got back home my mom and sister raided my freebie closet for goodies and everyone packed up to go home. They were on the way home by noon.
It was a short visit, but everyone had a great time. They'll be back in a few short weeks.

In non-related news, we have finally decided on a name for baby bean. His name is going to be......






Joseph Matthew Greenfield


....and we will call him Joey.
