My time in Maryland was exhausting, frustrating, chaotic, crazy.....and most of all as you can see by the pictures Stephanie took of me....it made me extremely happy and fulfilled to be there and finally have some real time with Sam, Steph and my two beautiful and energetic grandchildren.
What am I thinking about here.....probably how truly bittersweet it was going to be to have to leave all of them and go back home.....sweet to get back in my own bed......bitter to leave this very special family and no longer have this positive and special time with them.
It felt good to be so loved......I love you too Stephie.
Am I on the verge of lunacy......nope....just acting silly for the camera!!!
Look at that face...many nights the boys played outside with Gramma, until it was time to go in for bathtime......I enjoyed our playtime outside.
Getting ready to play Farkle.....I look tired and annoyed in this pic....only because I didn't want to be in the picture!!
Sam, the thinker.....a great Dad, exceptional husband....and a great host to his, I'm sure, sometimes annoying mother-in-law.
Uncle Jer (aka Uncle Gay per Ben) and Batman snuggle up as they dream about their adventures together.
Shopping for food with Steph and Nicky....we had some good times...even the simple things were fun.
Nicky HAD to have these special Eggo waffles.....'cause Gramma said so!!!!!!!!!
.....And great pizza for dinner one night....and a movie at home to boot.
Silly Benny smelling his own stinky feeties....what a trip!!
There we are mother and gorgeous daughter.
And the ever constant Sam......long drive bringing Gramma back home ahead.
These two special people have a great life together......they weather storms and chaos like pros....there's a lot of love to go around in this sweet family.
