Benefits of Family Visits

We are currently enjoying a visit from my in-lays the Durley's and everyone in the family benefits.

For the kids they get lots of extra special attention for example:

Nicolas gets to identify letters and numbers with Gramma which he loved.
Lea got to read to Baba
Julia gets lots of time to tell both of them stories and talk about her play.

Now we parents benefit too. An extra two pairs of hands around the house means that we can get an occasional much appreciated break, particularly during the day for Melissa.

And finally for me, first see all above, and then the culinary benefits for me which include the fact that Ray and Louise are solid meat eaters (unlike the rest of the crew here). That means that occasionally when the stars align we are able to grill some big juicy delicious steaks!
