In February my mom came out for a visit for two weeks. It was a fantastic two weeks, especially for the girls. Being so young, this was Anna's first visit with Grandma that she can actually remember. Grandma spoiled us all with wonderful baking, lots of help (thank-you mom for helping me get my office all done!), but most of all, with lots of attention. Still recovering from knee surgery, mom should have taken it easy, but she didn't let pain stop her from spending time with her granddaughters.
The saddest part of the trip was going home. The night before mom left, Anna knew that she wouldn't see Grandma the next day. She would not let her go at bedtime. My mom rocked her and snuggled with her for two hours after bedtime, and Anna just didn't want to say bye. Made it especially hard for Grandma to leave the next morning.
The best part of the trip, the memories the girls (and I) have of our time together. Anna LOVES to talk to Grandma on the phone now, hogging it from the rest of us. She really made a connection with her Grandma, too sweet.
Coming up next... the slippers from grandma!
