To a grandma we L-O-V-E!!

I can’t really call this a birthday post because I’m over a month late; however, it is a post that needs to be done. So, we’ll just call it…..the best mother in the world post.

Let me tell you about the best mother in the world…I have her. She does so much for me and my family there probably isn’t enough space on the blog or time in my day to write it all down. She has always been more than a mom to me. She’s been my best friend and I’m grateful for her and all she does for us.

My mom will drop EVERYTHING at a moment’s notice to be here for me. She comes when we have a new baby…and stays AS LONG AS I NEED her. She will drive down (2hrs mind you) just to let Brandon borrow her car so he can go out of town and we don’t have to pay the expense of renting a car! (BY THE WAY, we probably can’t say thank-you enough for that one) She comes down when my hubby leaves on his numerous campouts and scout camp just to keep me company and not be such a wimp all by myself. She always knows the best snacks and ALWAYS shares. She will sit and read EVERY book the girls have for HOURS and she even knows how to read them with just ‘the right’ voice. She's here for all the important events and always makes it a point to let the girls know how important each one of them individually is to her! I’ve told her for years (and I really believe) that she is probably the smartest person I know. (Sorry, dad, but it’s true…she knows EVERYTHING!!!) My girls absolutely ADORE her and can’t get enough of her. We ALL miss her when she’s gone. She also can write an absolutely wonderful poem at the DROP OF A HAT...and has....many times for me!

I could go on and on, but I just wanted her to know that we think she is the BEST MOM AND GRANDMA we could ever ask for and we love her around the world A MILLION TIMES!!!

It made me happy just seeing her face. :) This is me sending out a virtual hug *HUG*. Its funny, I was just thinking the other day about what a smart woman your mama is. Your mom is an amazing lady and the smartest mama I know too. Hooray for Lynn! (And for her remarkable daughter and granddaughters! What a proud heritage.)
