Nothing like having a baby to get east coast parents to fly west! My parents, aka GG & Papa, came to visit for Myles's 1st birthday. Besides the beach birthday party & presents, we went to the Hollywood Animals Ranch to meet the new baby, Denali the tiger!
We were having record temps during my parents visit & more than one person accused them of bringing the FL humidity with them (though the LA humidity is NOTHING compared to the South), so much of our time was spent in the AC.
While here, my parents hosted a Low Country Boil at our home as a "Thank You" to all our very special friends who helped us so much after Myles was born. Myles ate up GG's yummy shrimp! Mmm, delicious!

It was so nice having my parents here for a nice long visit. Myles got to bond & hang with his grandparents; my Dad braved black widow spiders, wasps, 105+ degree weather & a house rule of "no tv while Myles is awake" while tearing down a grody shed behind our garage, cleaning said garage & helping chainsaw a bunch of trees; my Mom cleaned & cooked - besides the Low Country Boil, she made her family-famous Korean bulgogi & schooled some snotty butchers at Whole Foods on the proper way to cut meat; they helped with the birthday party & of course, spent loads of time with Myles. My mom fed Myles many a meal & enjoyed what a mimic he has become & Myles loved when my Dad would take him for little walks around the backyard. And their "grandwiener", Tupelo, thoroughly enjoyed having 2 more laps to choose from for naps & general cuddlings. Myles, Tupelo, Greg & I had such a great visit with them - Wonderful parents make even better Grandparents! We love you Papa & GG! XO
