Grandma Lends a Hand

My trip to Africa wouldn't have been possible if my mother-in-law hadn't of come to watch the kids. She was kind enough to come all the way from Oregon for two weeks to help with everyday life. Ollie had a particularly hard work month and so it was even more necessary for her to lend a hand. From what I hear, everyone had a blast! They enjoyed frequent trips to the park, picnics in the front yard, playing with toys and more. They had a few special treats, one to the ice cream parlor and one to the Arboretum. An added bonus was a short visit from Uncle Abe, Aunt Delilah and cousin Hiawa. Besides all the fun everyone had, Grandma helped with cooking, cleaning and keeping a somewhat normal routine while Mommy was gone. It was hard for me to leave the kids for so long, but knowing they were in good hands gave me comfort. I'm so grateful for Grandma's generous heart and making my trip possible! We love you! Thank you!
