Ma and Pa come to visit... twice!

When we told mum and dad we were pregnant, they quickly booked a holiday to coincide with Mason's due date... they booked a week in Singapore, followed by a jaunt to England and France, then returning home through Singapore for a few more nights - in case Mason was overdue and they missed him the first time around, or, if he arrived early or on time, to give Lehi and I some time alone with Mason and have them 'check in' on the way home!

We have had such a lovely time with them!  The first visit was quite quiet - I came home from the hospital the day after they arrived so spent the bulk of that week resting and recovering and getting used to having Mason at home!  I know he loved the endless days of cuddles and snuggles, and I appreciated the few hours in the morning between feeds that ma and pa would mind Mason while I could go back to bed and cuddle with Lehi! 

We had LOTS of home cooking that week - Lehi took good care of all four of us and cooked up a storm of lots of delicious meals!  In that week, our outings were just a few - dinner at a Japanese restaurant, Waraku - our first big adventure out of the house.

and another dinner at Tung Lok Seafood at East Coast Park, though Mason is still a little young for crab I think...

And so mum and dad went off on their European adventures and left Lehi, Mason and I to our own devices for 10 days... each day was Groundhog Day - feeding, eating, cuddling, sleeping, changing, bathing and running errands - it was so much fun!  Mason has gotten quite accustomed to going out for lunch and dinner, spending time at the shops and falling asleep in various places!
 
Mum and Dad then returned from their jaunt to spend a few more days with us!  And since Mason was now almost 3 weeks old, we knew we could spend the days relaxing and snuggling and then show them a really good time and eat out every night!  We had four nights of brilliant food, chats and relaxing!

It was so nice to be able to spend time with family and I know Mason loved having his Ma and Pa here to visit!  He's lucky too to have his Aunty Jo coming to visit this coming weekend!  But we're definitely counting down to our visit home when we can introduce Mason to everyone!
