Credit where it is due

This is way too late. But I need to credit my incredible mom for enabling me to survive that last 5 weeks of my pregnancy with the twins. She provided the boys with fun, engaging activities every day, cooked us food, cleaned up for us, and got me out of the house. Without her we would have eaten frozen pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The boys would have gone crazy with boredom. I know my mom is always pulled in lots of directions, but I am so thankful we pulled her in ours for so long.

Some people have said, "I don't know how you did it," referring to my being pregnant with the two little boys while Kevin was gone for 8.5 of the 9 months. I didn't do it, is the answer. My mom is an invaluable help and after 5 weeks of living together even with all those crazy pregnancy hormones, she is a good friend. Thanks Mom!

P.S. Dad, thanks for giving up your wife so long- especially considering that you two had just obtained your empty nest. I hope you guys get to enjoy that someday. But I have a feeling you two will just keep serving everyone around you and loving others unselfishly. By the way, can the kids and I stay for a month in the new year?
