For the last three weeks my mom has been in town. The first week she was here with us. The kids got up to go to daycare with me every morning but my mom picked them up after nap. They loved that. Each day the kids got one day with my mom with just them. She took Alyssa to get her nails done. The day with Colin I can't remember what they did but both kids really enjoyed their time one on one.
Then my mom went down to my Grandpa's house for a week. During that week the kids had vacation bible school. Alyssa loved it and really got into it. Colin was on the very young side for it but did still seem to enjoy it he just didn't get as much out of it.
That weekend we went to the lake. We had fun but it was raining all day Sunday so we left the lake early and met up with my mom and Grandpa in Kingdom City for lunch. My grandpa loves my kids. The whole lunch time he spent smiling at my kids and telling them how good looking they were.
My mom came back to St. Louis the next day and this time she had the kids stay home with her in the morning and she brought them over a little later in the morning. On Tuesday they both skipped daycare and went to a movie, lunch and the children's museum with her. They thought that was awesome.
On Tuesday night we found out Duane needed to have surgery to repair the retina on his eye. So I told my mom I would drive to Arizona with her as long as she helped with the plane ticket home.
So Friday at 11:30 we left St. Louis. We arrived in Phoenix at 5:22 on Saturday. It was nice to have that time with my mom to talk and enjoy each others company.
On Saturday night I went out with Michael and we also got together Sunday morning for breakfast. I drove a corvette and then got on a plane at noon on Sunday to get back home.
So that is the fast version of the last three weeks.
Now we are just getting back into a routine and enjoying the nice weather the last few days.
