This is a catch up post on a few things from the past couple of weeks. We had a great visit with my mom and were sad to see her go. Becca decided to get in her suitcase and insisted that she was going to Pennsylvania with Grammy. The only way I convinced her to removed her belongings from Grammy’s suitcase was to remind her the we were house sitting for the Woods the next week. (I’d already asked her if she wanted to leave her Mommy and Daddy but she insisted it was ok since she would be “right back.”) Becca also decided that Isaiah was going to Pennsylvania too.

One thing I always appreciate about my mom is whenever we visit with her she always ends the visit by telling me that I’m doing a good job as a wife and mommy. It’s always very encouraging to hear my mom (mother of 6) say that and know she means it. It was also helpful to hear her opinion on Becca. She was with us long enough to see some of the “not so cute Becca” and make some good observations on how Becca interacts with me.

The day after my mom left, we moved to our “vacation home” – i.e. we house sat for the Woods. Becca enjoyed the pool. She had a great time jumping off the diving board with Josh. I couldn’t go swimming, but enjoyed sitting out and getting my legs wet while Josh and Becca swam.

House sitting at the Woods was a perfect time for Dad & Mom Jensen to visit with us. We had extra space and a pool for entertainment. Mom made us breakfast each morning, and it was great for me to not have that responsibility. We enjoyed their visit very much. Here’s a few more pictures from their visit (other pictures are in last week’s post).
