My mom is going back to Seattle today...we're leaving for the airport in about 2 and a half hours.


Mom (Grandma Sue) holding Gregory

You never realize how much you miss and adore your parents until you're away from them for a long time and then they come and help you. If my mom wasn't here for the past two and a half weeks or so, I don't know if I would have been able to cope with having a new baby. She helped me out SO much and I am going to miss her being here.

I'm already planning my vacation to go back home to see her and the rest of my family with Gregory in tow in July. We do a big family get together camping trip in the summer (on my mom's side of the family), so we're going to go home for that. Granted, we don't necessarily camp out like you would think with the whole camping thing, but it's all about being with family. We camp out in tents in my aunt's front yard (or sometimes, my other aunt's back yard) and we have fire pits and we sit around and barbecue and all that. It's just nice being with family...and I can't wait to show them all Gregory.

My mom and my aunt are going to drive out to Denver in April. I am hoping that the weather isn't too horrible going over the mountains and they'll make it here. They've got to drive over at least 2 mountain ranges that I can think of (The Cascades and The Rockies) and you know how the snow goes up in the mountains.

Anyway...I'm going to go sit in the living room and enjoy my silence at the moment (as Gregory is sleeping) and maybe I'll be back later.

I'll leave you with some pictures...


Gregory...thinking REALLY hard

I'm sorry that your mom couldn't stay longer but I am glad that she was able to come out there and spend as much time with you as she did. I can only imagine how helpful she was...physically as well as for your sanity!

It is funny (odd) how your family means so much more to you once you have your own family. I miss my parents too... I was going to see my siblings and my parents last week but my stupid job made me stay!

*hugs* It's okay to miss your mom.. you can call her sometimes.. I'm sure she'll be around when you need help. Hope you'll be able to be camping with your family in July and may time fly past you so that April arrives in a blink of an eye.

I know how it is about missing your family, I hated it so much when I had to leave Vegas to come back to Tucson. But at least its only a few more months till you see them again.
Gregory is so cute! He looks so peaceful with his grandmother.

XD
I've been eating chocolate and not drinking enough water because the toilet at my workplace sucks big time so I don't drink much water before or during work.. I think that's why..

I've got three names on here already. I don't want to abuse the privelage of Nutang :) So I'll just live with what I've got. Its not too bad.
