Treats from Grandma and Grandpa P

I'm in denial that D's mom is going home tomorrow. She has been such a help. So I'm doing my favorite thing to do when I'm worried about the next day--I'm avoiding going to bed. Somehow I've always felt like that would delay the next day's arrival or something. So here are some pics of J and one of the babies being treated by Gma P with love and attention--

--with Gazillions of bubbles--
--which we enjoyed at the Farm today--

--in the backyard the other day.
Notice the red bucket in the photo above--that was G-pa P's treat from the hardware store. And here's one of J snorkeling in the tub the other day. Someday his parents won't be so cheap and will buy him a real snorkel, but for now he's happy with a plastic drinking straw.

Cute pictures! Glad to see you're all surviving... and thriving, too! It's hard to see the moms go home after babies. I can relate! But you'll do great! (how poetic this comment is!)

Your babies are already so big. Wow, it goes by fast. I am copying the snorkeling idea, let you know how popular is around here later.
I'm glad you are doing well

I love the pictures! You are such an inspiration and I know you are a great mother, and will become a more amazing mom with each child. Parenting is a trial and error process. You will find what will work for you. Remember what was said at conference.- "There is no one perfect way to be a good mother. Each situation is unique. Each mother has different challenges, different skills and abilities, and certainly different children. The choice is different and unique for each mother and each family. Many are able to be “full-time moms,” at least during the most formative years of their children’s lives, and many others would like to be. Some may have to work part- or full-time; some may work at home; some may divide their lives into periods of home and family and work. What matters is that a mother loves her children deeply and, in keeping with the devotion she has for God and her husband, prioritizes them above all else."- Elder Russell M. Ballard

I will have to copy the snorkeling idea with Reed.
