Missing Grandma

Mike's mom came down last week and we had such a great visit! The kids warmed right up to her which is good cause they haven't seen here in 7 months. Jake pretty much knows who she is now since he is older but Madison hasn't seen her since she could crawl. But she did great. They both had a lot of fun spending time with her. Unfortunately she had a terrible experience at the airport getting here. Almost here in Charlotte the weather was very bad and her flight got canceled. So she had to get a hotel and fly in the next day. But she got here safe! The first day she got to spend time playing with the kids and then Friday we went to the beach and enjoyed the nice weather and cool water. Then on Saturday we drove down to Wilmington and went to a water park which was a lot of fun. they have a nice area were the kids can play. Then Sunday which was father's day we hung out and took Mike out to dinner were he wanted to go. Then she had to leave on Monday so we went to lunch and left on an afternoon flight. Well she left and flew from here to Charlotte to Denver and then again missed her connecting flight!!! Which they said was due to the weather! So yet again she had to get another hotel and fly out the next day. What and awful flight experience! But got home safe! But we are so grateful she was able to come out and see us and spend time with the kids. She spoiled us a lot and took us out to eat a lot and bought the kids lots of gifts, which they loved! But even as we left the airport Jake said I want to go to Grandma's house now. It's so hard when we live so far away! But I just want her to know we miss her very much and I know I didn't mention it in my mother's day blog but I want everyone to know what a great Mom she is and a great Grandma! She does so much for us and cares so much about us and the kids! We love you!!!

It is always so much fun to have family visit, especially grandparents. It makes it even better when you live so far apart. I am glad you had such a nice visit.
