{Thanks to Grandma...and Grandpa!}

At the beginning of August my Mom went home to Missouri after 2 months with us crazies! For the last two summers we have enjoyed extended visits with her. It is such an amazing blessing for my boys to get to bond with her and me too! I finally get to experience a "stay at home mom" at 27 years old! LOL We always have lots of fun and it is a great break for me to get things done that I couldn't otherwise. My boys just ADORE her and think she hung the moon! I am so grateful for our time with her and grateful to Rich for allowing her to come spend so much time with us, and away from him. We really enjoyed trips to the Zoo, Huber's Farm, the park, Deam Lake, and just the everyday. We miss you so much Grandma and can't wait to see you again. It's sad, but the boys are too young to remember any specifics of our time with Grandma, but the bond that has developed between them as a result of her time with them will be strong and permanent.

We love you Grandma - thanks for all the time you spend with us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
