Paw Paw's visit (1/6/11 - 1/18/11)

My mom flew in to see her grandkids and to help me out while Chris went to Cali for a convention. The time with her just completely flew by and since I'm horrible at snapping pictures...we barely got any :(  She did however get to spend some really good quality time with Leah and Jacob, which was awesome! Too bad my little sister wasn't able to come as well to meet her new nephew, spend time with Leah, and be the awesome photographer she is (I MISSED YOU MANDY!!).

I honestly don't know how I would've done it alone for all those days without my mom's help. She is absolutely amazing! She would cook, clean, and just do what real mother's do without me having to ask. She just ALWAYS knew where I needed help and did it...I LOVE YOU MOM...you were a BIG BIG HELP :)

Now that my mom's gone, going grocery shopping alone with two and with my little girl always having to go potty will be extremely tricky. Having your toddler potty trained DOES have cons as well LOL. I may have to take away her liquids in order to go shopping without a potty break..not sure how other mothers do it when they have an infant and a potty trained toddler that can not go alone to the bathroom.

I snapped so many of these pics that my poor mom was getting blinded by the flash and Leah wasn't too cooperative...so this is the best of the series LOL
YEP...my mom carried him so much that he doesn't know how to fall asleep on his own...she definitely spoiled him. He would be sound asleep in the bed, bassinet, swing...where ever and she wouldn't be able to resist herself from picking him up and cuddling with him.
Leah's first time sledding...she had a blast!
Every morning she would come into my room and steal him.
My mom burping Jacob while he makes funny faces...these pictures don't do it justice. We were cracking up with the noises he makes and funny faces.
My beautiful girl :)
At breakfast just before dropping mom off at the airport :(

I haven't posted in a while because my mom was in town to see her grandkids and to help me out. One of the last times I went, they were still working on the siding (weather held everything up this time...not me LOL).
