Thank God For Grandma

I am so thankful for my mother-in-law. Silvia and David came to visit for the weekend, and boy did they come just in time. Baby Grace had been sick last week with a tonsil infection and I think my little bug passed her little bug to me. I have spent the last two days in bed. Sore throat, congested, light headed, achy...horrible. And Grandma and Grandpa came to the rescue and made sure all the kiddos (and Larry) ate and did what needed to be done. When they visit, I just love to sit back and watch Grandma Siliva and Grandpa David interact with Grace. I tell ya, the girl can do no wrong in their eyes. Love just oozes out of their hearts for that little girl. Angel and Alliah take it all in, too. Alliah loves when Grandma says, "Come here, mommy, sit with me and keep me warm." She lies next to her on the couch and just cherishes every moment. Angel loves that Grandma keeps his tummy full. She makes sure he's never hungry. And Grandpa David? He keeps all three kids laughing with games, puzzles, stories and whatever else he can come up with. Thankfully, today I'm feeling much better and I know that's thanks to Grandma and Papa. I got to sleep all afternoon yesterday, and until 10am today. They had to go back home this morning, but I am so thankful they were here just at the right time.
