mom comes to visit

As soon as mom knew Michael would be gone so much for rotations she wanted to come help, which meant a lot to us. It was great having a built in babysitter and getting to leave the house for errands on a moment's notice and not worry about hauling 4 kids everywhere.  This was the first time she'd met Stahle and it was a treat watching the 2 of them interact. Stahle is a mommy's girl, but anyone who gives her baths in the sink every day is a friend of hers.  Mom says this is the way she bathed all her babies, she says it just makes sense to wash your dishes and the baby at the same time!  Multi-tasking!!  And its much better on your back.  Unfortunately, Stahle hasn't had a sink bath since she left. :(  While mom was here she did lots of cleaning for me, we went shopping and played with the kids.

On one of her last nights, we took the kids to the reef which is one of their favorite places to go.  It was fun to be able to go down the slides with Kandace since mom could watch the other 2.  Stetson was already in Lovell for the weekend.
