We've been too busy livin' up the good life of having Grandmas here. It has been wonderful. They came, they played, I slept. They cooked. I ate. They spoiled my children. I...well...I'll just have to fix that one later, but I definitely appreciate Lynda and my Mom coming to rescue me and give me time to rest and recover. I got to witness to the two of them doing my job...and doing it much better than I do it. My kids will be devestated to be stuck at home with just boring old me when Grandmas have gone home!
They came to do this...
And Spoil these...
And they did a fabulous job.We also managed to do a lot of the typical Mother-Daughter activities we enjoy when we get together:
-like putting together and laminating over almost 2 dozen FHE lesson packets (Lynda, I can't believe you saved all those RAD flannel board stories from the 70's. I can't wait to use them!)
-shopping adventures to our favorite local botiques, where we ALWAYS find a little somthing something to take home and treasure.
-naps...glorious naps! Thanks to both of you for giving me loads of time to rest and recover!
-wasting a good 45 minutes taking pictures of ourselves in ridiculous poses, trying to figure out which ones make us look skinnier...
-prepare 3 weeks worth of freezer meals, so I won't have to cook when I'm having one of those days...hopefully they will last longer than exactly 3 weeks from the day Grandma goes home! I'll post more about our cooking day later, along with recipes.
-sew burp cloths for my little puker. My babies are 3 for 3 with reflux. This is the end of the black shirts for me for the next year, when the puking settles down. It is a pain, but I'll gladly trade in my black shirts anyday for this little cheeto:
my mom's hand looks huge there...but that's just 'cuz Corbin is so tiny still, and not because her hands are freakishly huge or anything.-And before grandma goes home, I too advantage of the opportunity to go get me a haircut today.
YES. I actually returned to the beauty college.
NO. I did NOT have the same chick cut my hair.
I actually really like the haircut this time, my stylist was great.
but.....YES. there was still PLENTY of excitement, thanks to a tornado... that's a WHOLE other post.
Stay tuned for that story. ...here's the haircut.
OH! And happy 1/2 birthdays to Reese and Quincy, and my little Corbin is 3 weeks old today. Time is flyin' by lately, but I'm sure the long, lazy days of Summer are not too far away.Real Posts and Pictures Coming Soon.

love the cut! now just remember who it was and follow her around. good hairstylists are hard to find. but then again, you knew that :)
I love mothers and their helping hands. It's so nice to have them come and visit and spoil everyone in the family. Your hair cut looks great!
it was a HE who cut my hair. I haven't had a nice cut done by a male stylist in a loooooong time!
Cute haircut!
And that picture of Reese is a keeper. What a cute expression.
Ok, no fair how awesome you look 3 weeks post-partum!! I'm 10 months post-partum (can I even call it that anymore?!) and my stomach STILL isn't that flat! I'm so glad you have had lots of help. How wonderful!!
Marc-did you not read the part about my mom and I giggling and taking like a million photos of ourselves in bizarre poses to make us look skinny? I think she found them on wikipedia or something...
The results are in:
-wear black
-shoulders back
-turn slightly to the side
-arms away from the body
-one leg forward, or crossed legs
-bend slightly forward
We have some great blackmail photos of each other. Most of them turned out looking like we just really really need to pee!
wow 3 weeks? you look hot meg!
meg.....you did not just have a baby...really? what? so confused.
your hair looks super cute!!
