Mom Comes to Town

Last Friday my Mom came to spend a few days with us. We loved having her here! She spoiled us with dinner, the cutest little dress for Lainy, a sewing machine for me, and a beautiful bed ensemble for Brad and I. She did that plus watch Lainy while Brad and I ran off to a basketball game at WSU. Of course, we love getting spoiled, but it was even better just to have her here. I hope she was able to relax and get the break she needed. We love you Mom!!

After picking up Mom from the airport in Spokane, we did a little shopping. Lainy needed some new shoes. Here is what we found: Aren't they cute!!

Saturday morning we took Mom and Brad to our swimming lesson. Lainy and I have been going to swimming lessons every week for about a month now, and we've loved it. Lainy is doing great. It just feels good to get out of the house and into a swimming pool in the middle of the winter. Unfortunately, Lainy wasn't in a performing mood while Mom was there, but we still had fun in the water!

For Christmas my Mom got us a new comforter for our bed. While she was here this weekend we put my new sewing machine to good use in making some throw pillows to match. Here are the fruits of our labors. Brad and I love how it all turned out. Our bedroom feels like such a nice, serene retreat now. It's amazing the difference a few pillows can make!

Thanks again for coming at this busy time of year, Mom. I know I really needed to see you, and Lainy loved having you around. We love you so much!
