when granny came to town

the past week went way too fast.

way way way way way way way way way too fast.

i picked my mom up from the airport at 12:40 am thursday morning and suddenly it was tuesday and i had to drop her back off.

how rotten is that?

although we stayed cooped up inside mostly, due to cold, spring weather,
i had the most wonderful week with her here.

she was an absolute angel in every way.

she rejuvenated my spirit.

casey is going through the hardest semester dental school will give him right now (literally, all the upper classman say 2nd semester of the first year is the roughest, and we now understand why!)

and because of that, it's hard for me to get everything i want to do done.

she played with maxson while i

cleaned,

cooked,

organized,

exercised,

showered, 

or napped.

and then when maxson was sleeping she

cleaned, 

cooked,

organized,

worked on my projects,

and ran her balloon business.

she's kind of like super mom.

of course casey and i are head over heels over little maxson and think he's just the best/cutest baby in the world.

but it was so fun to listen/see another person love this little baby just as much and agree with all our thoughts.

a few things her visit confirmed:

maxson really doesn't smile much for others.

she had to work real hard for his smiles/giggles,
she did get a few but they were most definitely selective.

we have a cuddle baby.

because maxson is our first, we just automatically assume this is how all babies are.

my mom constantly was saying how amazed she was that he was perfectly content with just cuddling your shoulder/chest when you held him.

we love it :)

we love granny.

please come back soon!!!!!!!!!
