If you know my mom, you know she's a seriously dedicated mama and nana. I know she wanted so badly to come help take care of our family when Clark was born, but she physically wasn't up for it. So, when Clark was four weeks old, we went to visit my parents in Colorado.
I called in a few favors and had the kids taken care of between neighbors, church friends, and their awesome daddy and I was on my way. Ryan and Alisa had been in Michigan interviewing for graduate schools and happened to be headed home by way of Chicago and took me to the airport. Once at the airport I was ticketed under the wrong name, somehow made it through security, and then sat at the gate I was ticketed for (which was to Minneapolis!). Once I realized what had happened there was no way to catch my flight to Denver, so I had to wait almost four more hours until the next flight! Ugh! Needless to say, I was so happy to arrive in Denver and see my cute mom waiting for me in the airport.
We had a great few days together! Sheri Dew happened to be in CO speaking to the Relief Society sisters and we were able to go together. We shopped for fabric for Clark's baby quilt, but we mostly sat on the couch and held this sweet baby boy. It was nice to have a break, to just sit and give my attention to one little person. Mom was great and encouraged me to take a nap every afternoon. It was so fun and incredibly relaxing.
