Nagymama landed in NY for a three week visit. She split her time between our house and my dad's. It's always a treat when we get that much time together. We were all excited for her visit, but the girls' couldn't hold their excitement in.
When Nagymama and Papa pulled up to the house, I was nursing the baby (which I should note Ella still refers to as "milking") and I called out to the girls so they would greet them at the door. Ella ran to the door and Abby very seriously informed me that she was getting ready. Ten minutes later, she ran out with her hair done and fresh lip gloss on. It was really sweet. Her family was here and she wanted to get ready.
It didn't take long for Mama to get this little one in her arms for the first time.
Then, it was Papa's turn to meet Juliet.
The girls were so proud to introduce Mama to their new baby sister.
Look at those big eyes checking him out...
And then asleep in her daddy's arms...
These two. <3 p="">
Is it any wonder I've started calling her "Dolly" and (Lovie) "Dovie"? Look at that face!
Abby's dance teacher, Ms. Guin, called to invite Abby to dance with her Sunday morning as a part of the worship service at Guin's church. Abby was one of four girls who danced with Guin to "Ever Be" by Bethel. She really enjoyed the experience and did an amazing job (especially considering the fact that she learned it two hours beforehand). :)

Abby got a new pair of boots this week and they make her look 16! She looks so grown up and she loves every minute of it. The sweetest thing is she wanted those boots because she said wants to be like me. How cute is she?
Having Mama here was so helpful. She cooked, ironed (all 27 of Joe's shirts), did dishes, sewed Halloween costumes and anything else she could find to do. She is like the energizer bunny, still running circles around me. But, the best part of having her here isn't what she does for us, it's the time she spends with us. It's watching her snuggle and play with our girls OR having her company with me throughout the day. The girls woke up every morning looking to have a breakfast date with Mama. While I waited in line at the Target Starbucks, Ella grabbed Mama's hand, pulled her to sit down at a table and asked her what she wanted to chat about. Abby wanted to sew with Mama more than anything. I'm thankful for every minute of that quality time.
A good friend's mom, Mrs. B, sent us a really fun care package this week, complete with hooded towels for our girls. Mrs. B made one for Abby when she was born and sent one for Ella and Juliet this time. The girls love them.
