Just keeps getting better

When someone you love gets sick, you start thinking a little different. My mom was recently diagnosed with Cancer and I can't think about anything else but spending time with her and my kids. We decided to skip Halloween parties, school, trick or treating, and friends in Heber. I and the kids drove up to Idaho the morning of Halloween to spend the weekend with my Mother and Father.
When we got here they were not here, I said, "okay kids I guess they are not home, lets get back into the car and go home." Momma! All three boys knew I was teasing them. Soon we were in the house and we heard the garage door open. My kids hid (as always). Jacob soon was helping mamos empty the grocery's and he saw that Mamos had bought some strawberry's and yogurt. He turned to her and said,
"The day just keeps getting better and better!"

Jacob said it all right there in that beautiful sentence. It just keeps getting better and better, We love you Mom and Father.

I didn't know that about your mom. That's a rough thing to swallow, I know. I hope she's doing well.

Jen, thanks for bringing my grandkids up. I love having them here even when they are crazy around the house. I love them coming into our bedroom in the morning and "nuggling" and to me it doesn't really matter what time it is. They are the best.

I may not get around to it often, but I just read your blog again today. You are such an inspiration. I don't know how you have enough hours in the day or enough energy, but I need some of that juice you're drinking to get me moving!
Loves, Suzy

I had no idea about your mom. I hope that she is doing okay. What a good mom/daughter you are to take your kids to see their grandparents, especially where they are so far away. I love what Jacob said. What a sweetheart.

I didn't about your mom either, I too hope she is feeling okay. I love it, what Jacob said. Kids are so innocent and sweet. It seems like they always can lighten the mood and put things in to perspective.

I am sorry to hear about your mom. I am sure if she is anything like you, she's a fighter. I love your kids. They are so adorable!

I'm sorry to hear about your mom, Jen! I hope it's treatable. My dad had cancer about two years ago, but he is okay now. I know the feeling of just wanting to be close to those you love, when news like this happens. Hope she recovers.
