We had a great time this last week with my mom here! I was really excited when she called me up a few weeks ago and said "book my plane tickets, I want to come see you." We had a great time while she was here. We mostly stayed home and talked and played with the kids which for me was so nice and relaxing. It was really nice to have some adult conversations throughout the day. Elli had been anticipating Grandma coming and was thrilled to have her here! Shawn also remembered Grandma and They both Mauled her the entire time. I'm sure she is glad to have her lap back now that she's home, although she does have a lot more Grand kids there than she does here. Elli and Shawn took Grandma to the Children's Museum here, also to Maymont park where there is a petting zoo and some aquariums and other fun things. They also took her on a trip to the Zoo! I love the zoo here, It's a lot of fun! Everything was Great except for Elli getting sick the day after she arrived and throwing up all over. Luckily it was just a 24 hour bug and she was fine. After we left my mom at the airport Elli got so sad and walked very slowly out to the car with her head hanging low she whined, cried and mumbled, she looked so sad and I felt so bad, but i was struggling enough myself to hold back the tears that I couldn't even try to cheer her up so we both just sobbed as we walked back to the car without a word.
I Just have to say, I feel so blessed to have her for my mother! My Kids are so blessed to have her for a Grandmother and We are all blessed to have her for a friend! I love you so much mom, and I know my family loves you too. We Miss you already! It really made me think about Dad too, I wish he could have come with, I miss the crap out of him! Love you Dad!

Gosh cami i was crying just reading that! Traeger asked me "why are you crying mom" i just told him im a boob. i couldnt imagine being that far away from my family. If i dont see my family for two day i get sad and need to see one of them. so you are very strong to be able to do that!
Reading your post caused me to miss my mom and dad... and family... it's hard to be without them! I will definitely be calling my parents tomorrow and telling them how much I miss them (not like I call them everyday, but hey, they are my parents!).
I miss you guys too... I can't wait to see you! Yay for Spring Break!!
I know what you mean. It's hard being away from family. I really miss it. I was just telling John that we need to come down and see you guys sometime, so we'll try to figure out a time. We love you!
