Been a while...

Chloe decides to sleep after meeting!

Family picture!

I am constantly amazed at how fast time seems to be moving these days! It's already October, and we're already halfway through the first week! How does that happen? Well, Mom came and went already and I keep waiting for her to send me the pictures from that weekend because I stupidly didn't take any pictures on my camera. Well, I took a few, which I will be putting on here but Mom has a lot more. While she was here we finally took a family picture. For some reason the only other family picture we had taken was when we were leaving the hospital, and let me tell you, I am looking haggard !!! Not exactly something to put on the wall!

Anyway, back to the weekend Mom was here... There is something so nice about family, and especially my mom, coming for a vist! For one thing she is so excited to see Chloe and wants to hold her and take care of her as much as she can, so I get a little break! And for some reason I don't feel guilty letting her take over for a while. That, and the fact that she always makes cooking look so easy! I can't wait for the day when making dinner is something I can just whip up, no problem-o! The other thing that made Mom's visit so much fun was that we went shopping! She is one person I enjoy shopping with! I'm finding that a lot of the time I like shopping by myself. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a shopping trip with "the girls" as much as the next gal, but when I go shopping with other people, I usually end up just looking at a bunch of stuff. I think the difference is that when I shop with my Mom I know she won't mind waiting for me to try on a bunch of dresses or shoes or whatever so the shopping trips are much more productive. It's also just plain fun to spend time with my Mom since I don't get to do that all the time.
