We love Grandma!

We love Grandma!
Derek and Grandma...
Derek stayed home the whole time Grandma was here!
Not once did he ask to skate with his friends!

Sade and Grandma...

Grandma got to see Sade in the musical at church.

Sade tried not hugging grandma good-bye to see if she'd stay.

Ayodele and Grandma...

Ayodele was the first one to play poker with Grandma.

He's going to miss her!

Kayode and Grandma...

Kayode fell asleep 5 minutes before Grandma arrived Friday.

We had a "picnic" lunch at her hotel and Kayode played Hide-and-go-Seek.

Grandma (my mom) came and stayed with us Friday until Tuesday. We hadn't seen her since last December. We are so thankful that she was able to squeeze in a visit with us. She and Dick are leaving on a 50 day trip across the USA on Monday. We (my mom and I) even got to spend Monday night alone... we went to her hotel, played "Wheel of Fortune" for a while, went up to her room to watch the opening of "Dancing with the Stars," went back downstairs when it was over and played video poker for a while, went to TGI Fridays for some happy hour nachos, then played a few more slot machines until I realized it was about 1:30am and I had to be getting up again at 5:45 to wake up Derek for school. How wonderful for us to be able to get out so we could visit without little ears hearing everything we were talking about, as well as getting me out of the house for some "adult" time without the kids! -- Love the kids, but even mom's need time away on occasion. We can't wait to see her again. We are one of the last stops on their 50 day trip. Thank you for everything, Grandma (Mom)!
