To our Moms...

We didn't get a chance to post a special Mother's day message about how wonderful our Mom's are, but I really wanted to just let everyone know how much our Mom's rock! They were both kind enough to come out and spend over a week with the four of us this past month, and it was just awesome to have that much time with each of them. It was so nice to have my kitchen magically get cleaned each day, some serious laundry get done, and the babysitting services were top notch! I also got to take advantage of sleeping in with Audrey after less restful nights, while Nolan had gotten up and was going full steam ahead each morning...I can't say Thank you enough for that!

My mom (Kenna) came out on May 8th until the 16th and boy was she a lifesaver for me, but especially for Nolan. I couldn't count how many times each day we heard him calling for "Granma" to come here, or "ja see that Granma?" Thank you so much for playing countless games with him, being quarantined in his room on the one day that he got sick and was throwing up, and helping my with my sewing project-the sling actually works great and Audrey has fallen asleep in it twice now! Thanks for letting us spend Mother's day and your birthday with you-we don't get that chance every year! Sorry it wasn't more exciting than a trip to Sam's and some late night Trifle!

Kenny's mom Debbie and sister Brittany came out on the 17th until the 27th too. Nolan LOVES his Aunt "Bittney" and had a great time chasing her around the house, playing at the park on the tire swings and slides and trying to share coloring time with her. By the late afternoon it was always her headed to take a nap, and Nolan trying to get her to play some more! Thanks to Debbie for watching Audrey while I took Nolan and Brittany to the Domes, and the Zoo-they both really needed to get out of the house and it did me some good too. She has a special knack for getting kids to sleep, which she has used pretty well on Nolan in the past, but also tried her hand successfully at lulling Audrey into some pretty deep sleeps that were tough to bring her out of.
A HUGE THANK YOU and WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH to each of them! Luckily we get to come see them again tomorrow and spend the next couple weeks with our family in Utah, WA and AZ. This time Kenny will be done with that pesky boards exam and he'll have no finals to study for and we can just enjoy the time hanging out with the people that we love the most! YAY for June!
