Nana Midge!

Salem and my Mom, Nana Midge!

On Sunday, my Mom and Stepdad drove down from North Carolina(they flew out there to buy furniture) and got to spend a day and a half with us. I know, not enough time. My parents are building their new home in Tucson, and had to get back ASAP to stay on top of things. We had such a great time with them and managed to get a lot of things done in the 32 hours they were here: we ate great food, shopped at the local stores, shopped online, they babysat Salem so I could go to the dentist, and my Mom and I met up with Kelly at the ONLY Starbucks for a latte and some much needed catching up. Kelly is Canadian, and my parents actually live in Canada during the summers, so they had a lot to talk about! I am always so grateful when you get the opportunity to run across a military wife that is a dear friend again. I told my Mom after we departed Starbucks, that Kelly is such a special (not in the retarded type of way) person that I can't say one bad thing about. You don't run across many types of people like that.

My BEAUTIFUL friend, Kelly!
So, it's a good thing Andrew and I are moving to

San Antonio and not Tucson because I couldn't
afford to live there and keep up with my Mom at the same time. WE ARE TROUBLE TOGETHER. Very bad, very, very bad. So, I think we were only out actually shopping yesterday for maybe 2 hours or so, and we managed to do some damage on Nana Midges credit card in such a short period of time. That's what Grandmas are for, right? I must say that I do feel a bit guilty looking at all this this morning. If it were over a week span or so of shopping, I would feel better about it; but this was only a few hours. We also managed to buy Salem her highchair off the internet that is not pictured in the photo. I was able to find one that matches the rest of her gear (the Laura Ashley print). I am sooo excited to use it! She won't be needing it for at least a few more months, but I just had to have it!

Pretty good for only a few hours of hard work!
