Tomorrow my mom is going home after being here for almost 6 months…it’s definitely going to take some getting used to. She has been such a big help when Daniel was little and colicky and more recently when I was recovering from surgery. It’s made me so happy that Ethan has truly gotten to know his grandmother and spend time with her. I know he will miss her when he she is gone. Daniel will be too little to remember, but I know it’s already made a big difference in his life to be able to stay home longer with grandma instead of having to go off to full time daycare at 6 weeks old.

Please also keep my cousin Tiffany and her husband and two year old son Loghan in your prayers. She hasn’t felt very well for several months, and she found out this weekend that she has a large tumor growing behind her heart. The doctors think it might be a lymphoma.

…and finally one small happy thing. We have a “borrowed” pet for the weekend. Ethan’s class at daycare just got a guinea pig named Scamper. I had a couple growing up and I LOVE them. They’re so much fun and so social. Today the guinea pig was running around her cage and “talking” to my mom’s dog Shadow. *sigh* I would love to have more pets but with how busy Todd and I are, how small the boys are, and how much moving we will likely be doing it just isn’t a good idea right now.
