Grandma Love

I've pretty much decided that if I ever have another baby--and that's a huge IF--Jeff's mom has to come and stay with us for a while to help out, just like she is now. :) I can't even describe how much of a difference it makes to have someone else here...to have an extra pair of hands...to be able to be in two places at once...to basically have a clone. :) Her help has been invaluable: chopping tomatoes and peeling peaches for our supper last night, folding laundry, making our entire supper this evening, and so much more--but most of all, making life grand for my boys. When I can't get to them, she can--and does--and they love it, just like I do.

A few snapshots from our time so far...

Josiah, David, and Tobin helping her snap the beans for tonight's meal...it's a little hard to see her in this picture, but she's to Josiah's left. Josiah and David were so eager to help with this, and even Tobin had so much fun "helping," too.

Reading to David...isn't that a funny look on David's face? :)

Reading to Tobin...

Holding Shav outside on the swing...
We have been blessed by her presence with us!

And speaking of blessings... Last night, I fed Shav and put him in his cradle at 10:30, where he slept until 4:15 this morning!!! Then I fed him again and put him back in his cradle, where he slept until 8:15! Yippee! Sleep is sweet...and so is Shav. I love that little guy so much! Happy one month birthday, Shav! :)
