prayers coming that way for your mom. praying as I type this also. Have fun.

My 88 year old mother has decided she just couldn't stand not seeing
her great grandchild and ifs flying out here tomorrow for a week. Just
boggles the mind. lol  So have my fingers crossed that she will not
wear herself out and will be strong enough to withstand the 5+ hour
flights. That little boy is calling to her. He is way way cute so I
can understand.

how cool that she will be able to see her great-grandson!!!  she must be
really excited about him to take on a 5+ hour flight just to get to him.
the power of grandma love will get her through it, duckie.  and just seeing
and holding that sweet little guy will probably make her forget all about
the trip and make her feel better.  babies have a magical healing thing they
do to grandmas--you know what i mean<smile>.  and you're right, he is
waaaaay cute.  i'd love to see a current picture of him.  they change so
much from day to day at this age.

I didn't get this until today (10th) so I just hope the great grandma got
there safely and not too tired.
Am sure she has loved that little boy by now and feels it was worth it just
to see him!

Duckie, I want to know how you feel the first time you put that little boy
in your mother's arms.

My mother loved her grandchildren and was able to spend quite a bit of time,
good time with them all.

But presenting her with our grandchildren, now that was special.

She is packing her suitcase as I type. We have had a wonderful visit
with Jen bringing Noah down nearly every day for a visit. Today, the
kids long ago had asked if we would baby sit while they went to a
RedSox party and we continued along with that.
Took only one day for Noah to give her his beaming smile. That was
Monday the day after she arrived. I think it made the trip totally
worthwhile. She melted -- just like I did. Took her only one day to
figure out how to hold him so he would be happy.
The trip did not wear her out but she is tired now and I expect will
sleep for a good day once she gets home. We have plenty of pictures of
all the generations which is great. We have to get up at the crack of
dawn tomorrow to get ready for the airport so I am heading off to bed.
Just wanted you all to know how wonderfully well her visit went.
