I feel so lucky that my parents were able to come to Gent for a second visit since we have been here. They made a quick stop to visit my brother stationed in the U.K. and then came to spend five days with the boys and me while Cole was on a business trip. Of course I LOVE having visitors, especially family, but my parents really outdid themselves on this trip…they completely spoiled me rotten while they were here. I basically got to have a short vacation without any planning, packing, traveling, etc. My dad fixed countless things around our loft (thank you friends for the tools!!) and did most of the grocery shopping, and my mom did cooking, helped me plant flowers, and did my laundry. They also cleaned, played with the boys, and were in charge of school duty almost every day! It's been a long time since I didn't have all those responsibilities on a daily basis! We really enjoyed having them here and I loved seeing them interact with the boys. Here are some pictures of the week.
The boys loved helping my dad fix things around the loft!

I was very thankful for my mom's help to plant flowers again. My mother-in-law helped me plant beautiful flowers last year, but I seem to have a black thumb and kill everything I try to grow. I'm pretty sure most everything we planted was dead soon after! I'm not sure if I water too much or what, but I can't keep plants alive for anything!! Needless to say, I was happy to have help to, once again, try to have some flowers, fruits, and vegetables on the terrace!
