Mine is gone!!!

Ryan and I are sad to say that Mine has left the building. Ryan tried to convince her to buy the house next door. He looked it up on line and he told her it was a mere $40,000. He didn't get her to bite. She is probably looking forward to sleeping in her own bed ( instead of jumping around to all of the girls' beds - except Avery's - she is too wild and sprawled out), having peace and quiet, and doing her own thing. she was great in getting the girls doing laundry, kitchen duty, etc. We are planning on keeping all of the chores going. Mom - I can't thank you enough for giving up your activities for the last two weeks and taking care of us. Ryan and I will miss all of the help - especially in the morning and at bedtime. We will be looking forward to your next visit.

What a blessing to have your Mom there for help and adult conversation! I'm sure she enjoyed it too! That has to have helped get you back on your feet. How nice for her to enforce chores and things too...That's always nice not to have to "retrain" after a vacation w/ grandma. :)

Your mom is a true blessing! You all are soooo lucky to have her! I'm sure all of you will miss her a lot. I have a good feeling she will be back before you know it!
