Well, my mom left today. Our neighbor took her to the airport so I wouldn't have to get out so early with both girls. It would have been a challenge to get Kate fed and Emma up and around by 7:30am. We could have done it if we'd had to, but we didn't thanks to my neighbor. (Thanks Monica!!) I found myself crying as the car left. I wasn't crying because I didn't think I could do this by myself. I was crying because I really didn't want her to leave. I really enjoyed her being here. I also enjoyed my dad being here. It's hard to say goodbye when you don't know exactly the next time you will get to see them. We're hoping for spring break, but it could be this summer. Being so far away from my family is hard. We love Charlotte, but it is so far from my family.
That being said, Kate, Emma and I had a really good day on our own today! I even ventured out with them both to Target. Emma was great today. I know we will probably still have some of those days, but today was good and I'm grateful!! Barbara/Grammie comes tomorrow for a few days. But it's good to know that we can do this by ourselves!!
Here are a few pictures:

I feel the same way when my mom leaves and she's a 3.5 hour drive away. I can imagine it's much worse for you!!!
I'm glad that you had a day on your own. It's intimidating when the help leaves, but you'll feel great accomplishment when the kiddos are in bed at night, sleeping soundly, and you can sip a drink...any drink...in peace.
Ohmygosh - seeing those pictures makes my heart ache. I miss you guys so much!
What darling daughters you have, my dear! Emma remnds me of her mommy and Kate looks so much like her daddy's baby picture! Y'all do good work!!!
luv,
Sue(Blocker, Wood)Goosen
I figured I'd have to put all those names in so you'd know who I was!) ;)
