ode to mom

This is probably more like a mother's day post, but when I feel something good, I have to say it :) I have the best family! Both sides are amazing. Dave and I have never felt alone but we always feel independent. How is everyone so good at that?
Anyway, my mom has always told me about her dream to know her grandkids well and have us live close so now that that dream is a reality she really makes the most of this time in her life. Constantly she offers to play with the kids and loves to take them to the zoo, museum, etc. She even took up quilting to make quilts for her grandkids :) This is her quilt for Lydia...
The other reason why she's amazing? She let me pick out these colors and didn't even like them :) but she still took her time to make the quilt anyway....Love you mom!

What a nice mom! I think the quit colors are cute. And I like how the desk turned out, too.
So are you counting down the days (okay, maybe still months) until we come to visit again? I am!!!

Oops! I meant to type "quilt," not "quit."

That's a gorgeous quilt! Did she really just recently take up quilting or are you being facetious? I can't tell in print.
