Namma and Poppy Scott

My dear Mom came to help me when Malan was born. She arrived the day Malan was born (over a week after due date, of course) and was a HUGE help to both me and Ben and was a new best buddy for Maria.
It made me so happy to watch my Mom and Maria!
I convinced my parents to head up to my favorite trails to get some miles in. I didn't want them to miss out on their beauty.
We love making the signs! (The day they left...so sad.) The psychcadelic room - I think the adults like it as much as the kids do.

Maria got a hamburger all to her self.
Listening to the bunny's bum!
Maria really wanted to go to the carousel with Namma. I guess they went hiking at Peavy, drove to Salem to the Gilbert House and then to lunch. My Dad was pooped and suggested they just go home, thinking Maria would forget about the carousel. But oh no, she started singing, "Here we go, here we go, all the way to the carousel!" Ha!!!
Maria got a new tent to play in. Good times!

During the 12 days that my Mom was here, she cooked, cleaned, held her new grandbaby, played (and played and played) with Maria, and hopefully enjoyed her time! My Dad was also able to come for about 4 days.

We were so happy to have them!
