We had to say goodbye to my Mom yesterday after enjoying her company for 10 wonderful days!!! We were so lucky to have her here and grateful to my Dad for letting her go. I don't quite know how to thank her for her amazing love and service. It was the greatest gift and I hope I can do the same for my daughters and daughters in-law someday. Here are some of the ways she kept herself busy....
-Did 2 to 4 loads of laundry practically everyday
-Did 2 loads of dishes every single day
-Cleaned our dirty bathrooms
-Scrubbed our dirty kitchen floor
-Helped fix food
-Cleaned up after every meal
-Got Hyrum up, changed, fed every single morning
-Fed Hyrum snacks and lunch every day
-Read Hyrum books non-stop
-Played with Hyrum non-stop
-Put up with Hyrum's "terrible two-ness" :)
-Bought us diapers, wipes, and some fun movies!
-Shoveled our driveway/sidewalk when it snowed-buff woman!
-Let me take naps, pick up Jeremy from school kid-less, and let Jeremy & I have a date
-Held and sang to Hunter
-Took Hunter at night
-Changed mountains of dirty diapers
-Lifted heavy things for me
-Lots of nice talks with me
-Kept me company all day long
-Loved my kids
-Made me feel like I can actually do this parenting thing!
-And still manage to be cheerful, happy, and energetic everyday
I love you Mums, you are the BEST!!!!!!

Do you have any plans for May? Texas is a lovely place in May. If you want to come and visit us, we would love to have you in our home. Oh, by the way, I should mention I’m expecting my second baby in May. Could you do everything that you did for Megan for me?
Meg! I'm so happy that you had your mom to help. I'm sure she had so much fun taking care of you and the boys. She is amazing! And so are you!!
thank goodness for grandparents.
Megan,
So that's where you get so many of your INCREDIBLE gifts?!
I love all of these pictures of the boys! How sweet are they?! I bet Hunter is sooo excited to finally be home with all of you! He makes such a darling addition to your beautiful family. These pictures are just precious! I can't wait to come back and see more. :)
