What would I do without this lady?
She came into town the day after Collette was born and just left today :(. I don't use emoticons unless I'm really serious about something and that sad face emoticon means we're really sad about her leaving. While she was here, Owen got 100% attention 100% of the time. No joke... she did everything for him, with him, all day every day. Just a few of the things they did:
Walking and more walking and more walking:
Every day for at least three hour walks... I honestly don't know how they both handled the heat for three hours during the day but they did and Owen loved every second of it.
While on their walks, she would stop and let him hop (pictured below), look for animals, put rocks in shoes (don't know where he came up with this game... also pictured below), play in the water fountain and every other thing Owen's little heart desired.
They also went swimming with friends, went to the children's museum a couple of times (No pictures of this unfortunately), rode bikes:
We visited the fire station:
Really... is this one of the cutest things you've ever seen?
Ate at our favorite restaurants:
And just hung out, watched movies and played with Collette.
She also cleaned our house, did laundry, fixed dinners and all other things that needed doing in the house. Owen helped with that as well...
She really made me feel like this whole having two kids thing is easy breezy. I'm sure in the next couple of hours, Tyler and I will realize what a tough transition it's really going to be for us to take care of Owen AND this little lady:
Thanks Mom for everything! You are amazing! We miss you already... come back again soon!

Yes! Come back and let's go to the water park again! Britt you have an amazing mom. Hope she comes back to visit before we leave!
Sad I am sorry she left. It does stink when they have to go. Your pictures are so fun.
I've said it before and I will say it again...every ounce of goodness & kindness & fun-ness that your Mom possesses was passed (so perfectly) on to you. You ladies are some of the best people I know...oh, and your kids are darling Britt ( :
