Mom's surgery

Mom had her surgery this week and we turned our playroom into a guest room for the time being so that she could stay with us for a little while, afterwards. The kids all picked out balloons to take to the hospital for her. Macy picked out a "happy birthday" balloon, but then decided on an orange star....with a little help ;) Garrett picked out a red heart, because he loves his grandma. Sami got a "get well" balloon. Sydney got a purple star because that's her favorite color and Dylan picked out a yellow smile balloon. They definitely did make mom smile :)
While she was here, the kids kept sneaking in her room to give her hugs and tell her hi. Garrett read her books and Sami gave her backrubs.
She has returned home and we are checking on her daily, several times and today Garrett wanted to stay with her to make sure that she wasn't doing her "to do list". He is such a big helper and went over to help her out. He ran up and down the stairs for her, took out her recycling and her trash and kept asking for more jobs. I'm so proud of the thoughtful little guy he is.
