Today was sad because Grandma had to go back to North Carolina. We know Grandpa, Uncle Shawn, and Aunt Rita miss her a lot. What would we have done without her? She got here on Monday, 2/18/08, while we were still in the hospital. She even spent the night in the hospital so Jeff could get a little sleep and get things ready for us to come home.
Our family took care of foster babies when I was growing up - over 60 newborns stayed with us over the years. Needless to say, Grandma has a way with babies. She loves to snuggle with them and seems to know just what they need. She really helped us transition into parenthood and get more confident caring for these little ones. Plus she looked after me as only a mom can. I am so grateful she was there to send me to bed for a nap, make sure I had something to eat, and calm me when I was feeling anxious. It was wonderful to see her with Riley and Colter. I cried when I dropped her off to go to the airport tonight.
Here's some pictures of her with the twins.
