I've just watched my mother and stepfather drive away from the hotel to catch their flight back home to California. They have been here with us from the beginning. Mom and Larry have been such a huge help to us as we try to figure out this parenting gig, and it broke my heart to see them go. I'll never forget my mom's sage advice at the first overflowing dirty diaper -- "get her to the sink" and she expertly washed away all traces of the mess! And Larry's incessant search for a ball for Ada was well worth it -- she loves to crawl after her special toy that always gets away from her.
Ada was sleeping when they left and they insisted that I not wake her for a goodbye hug and kiss... I know she'll miss them when she finally rises this morning. She thinks they are so funny, and she's really bonded with them over the last ten days.
This post is to them and for them. We are so grateful for their gift of time and of love, not to mention their patience and support! We hope we'll be home soon because Ada will be excited to see her Nana and Poppy again!
