In October I was so very lucky to have my mom come out and visit for 2 weeks! It was wonderful. It was her first trip to see us in Lubbock and I was so excited to show her around and see where we were calling HOME. We got SO much done in those two weeks...crafting, decorating, organizing, shopping, cleaning and more! I can't believe how much more we got done with having 2 of us. It was so nice to have another set of hands to hold the baby, fold laundry, load and unload dishes, and help the kids after school. I tried to convince her not to EVER leave. Her visit was exactly what I needed right then.
Mom was here for her birthday so we were able to spoil and celebrate her. We blew up balloons, ate a special Chick-fil-a breakfast and spent the day together. That night (Friday) we kept with Fluhman tradition and had pizza and a movie. Instead of the traditional birthday cake Mom opted for an ice cream sundae bar...the kids thought it was SO COOL. Later the next week was the school book fair & family fun night. Mom and I took the kids. There were games, balloon animals, and face painting. The kids thought it was pretty special to show Grandma their new school.
Grandma got to spend lots of time with this little man. She changed MANY MANY diapers (thank you) and got him ready for bed most nights. They spent lots of snuggle time in his room and Grandma got to use those messy baby meal time feeding skills! It was SO VERY appreciated. As anticipated those 2 weeks flew by too fast. Thankfully though while she was here we scheduled and booked her tickets for her next visit. We are ALL already counting down till Grandma comes again!
