Sweet Gifts

My mom has been here for the past week and sadly today she had to go home. I treasured every moment I had with her. She came and cooked for us and she and I knit and we enjoyed the children when there wasn't any duty calling. Our time was special and I'm so thankful for it.

We spent almost all of Friday outside knitting. If we weren't knitting we were admiring little one.

Isn't she precious?

Libby wants to learn to knit, but for now she watches.
Tomorrow real life begins again. Hazel has a two week check up and it will be my first time out of the house alone. The past two weeks have a been a sweet time of recovery. I'm so, so thankful for them! Thank you Jake, mom, dad, and children for making this time a treasured memory for me.

What a sweet time to be there with you and the family. Hazel is all Reynolds and truly belongs right in the middle of the group.
Loved being there with you all!
