My mom flew into town to help with Baby Penny and we had such a great time! She was a big help, played with the girls, and we celebrated my birthday! She even made my favorite chocolate cake with chocolate frosting! I am now 29 years old...the age I will forever be when people ask, right? It was a great birthday and one of my favorite gifts from Dave was "Verse by Verse the Book of Mormon" by D. Kelly Ogden and Andrew C. Skinner. It's like reading the book with a couple scholars who have deep insights and doctrinal, historical, cultural, and linguistic commentary along the way.
It was so great having my mom around, but it went by so fast! Five days was not long enough but my parents JUST opened their new Elements Massage business so she had to get back to work. :( But not before we spent alot of time with the kids, baby, and even had some girl time shopping for clothes!
Lizzie and Julie were in heaven with all the attention they got from Grandma. My mom is so good with the girls. (All of us girls including me!) She is an amazing woman who never ceases to astound me with her work ethic, unselfishness, talents, and love. We are still missing having her around!
