a visit from grammy

yes, that is a bow in lu's hair

my mom, lu & gus' grammy, blessed us with a visit. she spoiled luci by playing 'princesses' for about 4 hours a day. seriously. that isn't even an exaggeration. the girl was in make believe heaven! they went to target, got lattes, bought diapers & wipes, etc.
those princesses were busy, busy, busy!

and gusgus was delighted to have another snuggle buddy. at one point i walked into the living room & he was just sitting on her lap as she played gently with his hair.
he was chillin...and lovin being loved on.

mom arrived in the middle of clay's latest week away with the navy and served as an extra energy boost for me when i'd normally start to fade. especially since i was super sick. there comes a point during those week long trips when adult conversation (for me) is really needed. and usually i'd just call her everyday & ramble, but this time i had her as a live, captive audience.
flights were a pain for her....in fact, she's still in her 3 hour drive from msp to new hampton as i type. it'll be much better once the merger is finally all said & done. on many family fronts.
i hope.

thanks for making the pain in the you-know-what trek, mom.
we miss you already...please come back soon!
