a visit from grandma

We had an unexpected specially special visit from my mom this past week. With some gracious sacrifices from various family members my mother was able to spend five very sweet days with us. The kids were soaking up every minute with Grandma as much as I was too. I want to use this post to mostly show pictures of all the fun things we did together. But really the specialness was just in being together and all those conversations that spontaneously come up and having her experience the kids in their "world" being themselves. Thank you to all, but most of all to Dad who shared his wonderful wife with us!

 We love you Grandma!
