Hanging out with Mom

I have been pretty sick the past few weeks, not able to keep food down and not able to cook or eat most things. To help out my mom came and spent 3 days helping with the kids. In those three days I slept in every morning, took a nap every day, did not cook, got my hair cut, and my mom did pedicures for the girls and I. We also took a short morning trip to the Wild Animal Park with a friend and her two boys. It was a nice restful time, which is just what I needed to get over the last stretch of the first trimester!

Story time with Gma!
When Dad returned on Saturday to get mom, he brought Joe and Kara for some added fun play time! Hannah and Kate love their cousins!!

Thanks for coming and taking such good care of us Mom!! You're great (I would have said "awesome" but I know, only God is awesome!).

Sorry you're still feeling icky! Have you had to ban coffee from the house this time? Hope not! I know you're happy to be close to your parents at least.
As for devotions, keep Morning Bells on file. It seems aimed a little higher than preschool age. We're picking up Susan Hunt's ABC Bible Verses again. I'll let you know if we find another good ones.
Have a blessed day!

Oh, Yay!!!!! That's what moms are for. I never would've survived the end of the 1st trimester without My mom. Wish we could be there to help, too!!!!!!!

I'm glad I was able to help. I had a lot of fun. I hope you felt well for your anniversary and had a good time with Jeff and the girls. Hopefully all the sickness is behind you, but if not and you need more help just remember this Arnold Schwarzenegger quote, "I'll be back".
Thanks for all the nice things you said about me. God is Awesome and one of His greatest blessings is to be able to love and help our family.
