a visit from my mother

we were so, so lucky to have my mom fly out to help us when reese was born.  i'm so grateful to my mother for coming.  i just know those first two weeks wouldn't have gone nearly as smooth as they did without her help. 

it amazes me how much my mother did to help us while she was here.  she worked so hard to do our laundry, cook our food, clean our house, run our errands, finish up some of my un-finished projects, be our moral supports when we're tired and most importantly take care of the kiddos.  honestly it's amazing.  she worked so tirelessly while she was here.  i know she was tired when it was time to leave, but my mother never once complained.  i'm lucky to have such a great mother and even more lucky that she was willing to take time off from her own busy life to help us out as we welcomed reese into our family.  love you mom.

i really didn't take a ton of pictures during those first two weeks, but i did manage to get one of my mother entertaining the kiddos.  katelyn and tanner were helping my mom make some chocolate chip cookies.


the day my mom left.  reese is giving us an elvis impersonation.


the kids were eating some nerds and decided they wanted to take a picture with a nerd on their tongues.
