Grandma Wilcox comes for a visit

We flew Joseph's mom out to stay with us for two weeks in February. Once again, Joseph had a big work project/turnaround right after Lydia was born. At first, we thought he'd be able to maintain normal hours during it. But right before Lydia came, we found out he was going to be on shift plus working weekends. I'm grateful his mom could come and help. She basically stayed home with whoever was sleeping at the moment. This way, I could go get Ashton from school without waking everyone up. Or I took Tanner and Gemma places and could leave Lydia home with a bottle.

The biggest adventure the kids had with Grandma was the school carnival. The school does lots of fundraisers and we participate with the carnival. They do a great job at it so I don't mind spending our money there instead of buying weird popcorn or whatever other fundraisers they have. I stayed back with Lydia and Gemma as it was during nap time. Grandma Wilcox took the two big kids from 11am to 4pm (the entire time of the carnival). The school offered a wristband for unlimited games and we did that for the kids. They definitely got their money worth out of it. I'm grateful the kids could still go despite having a new sister and their dad working weekends.
