On Friday, we dropped my mom off at the Bujumbura airport after three wonderful months. It was very sad to see her go. Three months is a long time but I can honestly say it was WONDERFUL for us, and for the kids (and hopefully for her, too). She was a tremendous help with the kids and with help around the house, especially after our house helper got sick and was out for about 6 weeks. Eric and I were able to spend a little more time at the hospital or doing administrative tasks while she spent time with the kids. There is a big Grandma-shaped hole in our hearts right now, and we're hoping we somehow can fumble through the next months without her.

She worked on lots of sewing projects for me! |

Grandma cleaned out her classroom and brought all the extra craft projects for the girls…big hit! |
