Magic Powers

Through the years, I have come to believe that moms have special powers. My own super powers are still developing....but my mom has super strengths, strengths that I hope to have one day. She just has a way of making things better. For the past two weeks, Mike has been in St. Louis doing a rotation in a hospital there. To help out, my mom flew in a week ago and stayed for a week. We had a blast. Along with being a fantastic mother and grandma- she is an amazing friend. We had fun talking, laughing, watching NCIS re-runs :) after the kids were asleep and just being together. She helped to relieve so many stresses that I have had recently.... things with my calling....making things possible that aren't possible on a medical student budget...helping to decorate the toy room....and so many other things.
Here are some things we loved and will remember....

Grandma picked up Samantha every day from school......

We played games....

Making crafts.....

Going to the park....

Late night run to Dairy Queen for ice cream...

Watching "Honey I SHRUNK the Kids"...

Eating my FAVORITE treat...Al's gourmet popcorn....I MAY have eaten my weight in popcorn.

Thanks Mom, for coming out and doing all that you did. We will never be able to repay you for everything. We love you and miss you already!

Ok, Daddy---- now COME HOME!-It's been WAY TOO LONG!
