Another visitor!

We were blessed to have my mom come home from her mission for a few days while my dad was staying with my oldest brother, Matt, during his chemotherapy treatment.

 We were pretty excited.

 Clara has been begging me for months to make a stuffed animal out of some cloth that Nana gave us. Like the lemonade stand, I pawned this job off on someone else. I'm cool like that.

My mom made this awesome snake that I don't have a picture of. It was my idea to make the snake because I figured it would be the easiest thing to do, but now Clara has a five-foot long snake to add to her already-drives-me-crazy stuffed animal collection. Oh well.

 Nana and the newest grandbaby!

Although the circumstances of her visit were undesirable, it was wonderful seeing her and so great to have her help. She trimmed my hair, hemmed Michael's pants, and babysat so we could go to the temple. So glad she's my mom.
