Special Visits

A couple of special visits have happened in the past few weeks. The most exciting of which is ongoing!

 I mentioned this already in my post about Layla's birthday, but my mom is here!!! She arrived in the evening on February 27th, and it was so exciting to pick her up from the airport!

Landon and Layla have been so excited to have Grandma around.

 Grandma was more than happy to join in our grocery shopping and donuts tradition :)

She's been a little LOT afraid of the crazy India traffic, but who can really blame her. Especially when we took a taxi together for the first time the other day, she about slammed a hole in the floor with all her imaginary brake slamming, at least when she didn't have her eyes covered.

The kids love having an extra fun person to play with; they loved all the presents she brought, and I love the extra company! We've played lots of Scrabble games on her iPad in the afternoons while the kids are sleeping and are planning to do some fun shopping this week! She's here till the 24th, and let me assure you that the 25th will be a sad day here :(

Another special visit a couple of weeks ago was going to see my friend Lauren and her new baby boy Ephraim!

 Ephraim was soooooo adorable! I had forgotten how teeny tiny newborns are!

Lauren gave birth in India...without an epidural...which basically means she's Wonder Woman in my eyes. So amazing! And we just love hanging out with Lauren and her husband, Jordan, already, so it will be extra fun having a little baby to snuggle :)
