In times like these, it helps to recall that there have always been times like these. - Paul Harvey

Phone rings...."okay, I'm on my way"....because together two can do anything....

first stop-liquid fortification

second-Gramma's holds baby while Mother takes her shower

the little helper

third thing-getting a big pot of soup started-dinner
tonight and lunch all week scratched off the list


everything's better now-happy baby with his clean and happy mother

  4. Beautiful! "It takes a grandma to (help) raise a child" doesn't it!

    Reminded me of all the help my mother provided, you know another pair of hands makes all the difference in the world to a new mom.

  5. You are a sweet, sweet mother and I'm quite sure that you are a bright ray to Rachel.

    When Tukes was a newborn my own mom came zipping to my aid (2 hour drive) one day when I seriously thought I was about to fall apart. Her presence was all I needed.

    Sweet baby boy!

  10. They must be so grateful to have you close by to lend a hand and be there to support them. (Big bonus for you too, to get to see all those wonderful stages of the little guy's life.)

  16. Stevie you don't know how lucky you are to be able to do this, and your daughter is so lucky to have your help! I don't know how my son and DIL got through the early days all alone. It's so ahrd to be far away.
