(I made Mike take this yesterday because it was the only time we could get a shot of my mom & me together before he left. Outside of a Greek(ish) restaurant we went to for lunch. In a strip mall. Sigh.)
..the more I love & appreciate my mom. She is a gem amongst mothers, & always shows her love for her children & grandchildren. Always, always, always. I really want to be just like her when I grow up.
When I called her a few weeks ago & asked her to come keep me company (i.e. co-parent) while Mike went on an especially long trip to Asia, of course she booked a ticket. I really love her for this (& my dad for letting her come!). The timing has been perfect. I've been sick, Quinn has been sick, & we're just a little worn out. We need the company.
Quinn is in heaven (Grandma is already teaching him new tricks), I'm getting extra naps in, we made the yummiest farewell breakfast for Mike & tonight we're watching The Grammy's & eating peach sorbet (she's asking me to give her background information on everyone, of course).
I'm growing my bangs out by the way - & probably shouldn't be let out in public for a few months.

Ohh lucky. And look how Quinn won't take his eyes off of her. :)
Feel better!
I think your longish bangs/hair looks so cute. And i'm with you re: appreciating my mom the older I get. Have fun with your mom this week!
however you did your hair in this picture, is perfection. i'm a big fan of a swoop bang.
jan is one of a kind.
Yes. Hair. Two thumbs up.
Love that Q won't look at the camera. Just smiling at his grandma. You are lucky. Jan (can I call her by her first name? We have played phone tag before) sounds like a good person to have around...always.
jan gets best mama award... (don't tell my mother). you know, this reminds me about how there was something i wanted to tell you, but i can't recall what that is. i like you with swoopy bangs, btw.
this strip mall shot is a good one--of all three of you. lovely lovely.
and that quinn, he deserves a good grandmama.
i love your growing-out bangs. you do the awkward phase well : )))) fun to have change too--i've been contemplating what to do to my hair... sigh.
I'm jumping on the band wagon too, I love your swoop bangs. There will be good days & bad, but hold strong... it's a fun change on you!
you are killing it in this picture.
i love miss jam.
It is so true she is a good mom. We are lucky to have her. I love that she had been able to come and visit and be involved in her kids and grandkids lives.
I had so much fun with you both....lucky me!
