Thank You Grandma/Mom!

I just wanted to say "Thank You" to my Mom for the whole world to see (ok, maybe not the whole world, but whoever reads this blog)! Thank you for coming all this way, for spending all that money on plane tickets, just to help out around here. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just cannot thank you enough for all you did. Thank you for playing with Sophia, for dressing her, bathing her, bringing her lots of surprises, etc. Thank you for cooking, for doing the dishes, folding laundry, etc. Thank you for holding Zoe, for changing her nappies. We all really appreciate it! We all miss you, but I think Sophia misses her caretaker/playmate most of all.

The four girls. I wish my hair was looking a bit better. Oh well. :)

Grandma and the girls. We would tell Sophia to smile and she would get this big cheesy grin on her face for the camera. It was pretty funny to watch!

Grandma and Sophia on our first outing with both girls. We were feeding the sea gulls at the beach.

Grandma made her famous "Kid Pleasing Cookies" and taught Sophia how to dunk them in milk. I guess that's one way to get her to have some milk! :)
