I, once again, have been slow about taking time to upload photos, but here are a few from my mom's visit!

These photos were taken the day she left.  Here is Hannah giving her a good-bye hug!

And some more general Hannie cuteness:

Here's the Mom and the children (and the dog!)

From left to right on couch: Ian, Noah, Mom, Hannah and Jordan

From left to right on the floor: Quimby (the dog) and Kaitlyn (in case you couldn't tell them apart...LOL!  Kaitlyn, that's for all of the gray hair jokes, my dear! :) )

Russ had already left for work when we took these photos, but I managed to get in on this one:

Mom brought me a lace tablecloth and a snowflake bookmark for my birthday!  Both were very nice!  I love them!  Both gifts were very "ME"!

Speaking of gifts...  check out the fun package that SuperAngel and the Dixon Chicks sent my way:

There was a skein of "plum pudding yarn", and lots of fabulous scrapbooking stickers and some scrapbook refill pages!  I am so excited.  I already used some of the stickers on my great day of scrapbooking last Wednesday (when hubby had the week off from work)...  that was the same day that I got to talk to Amanda on the phone!  (I always love talking to them!)  I have made a hat with the yarn and am now working on a scarf! 

It's a really good thing I was ahead in my work yesterday!  When I was helping the little ones with homework around 4:30 my hubby called to say he was on his way home with THREE dinner guests!

This was the second time in just over a week we have had surprise dinner guests.  The last time (last Tuesday) it was b/c I forgot that we had invited them over, but this time it was just my sweet husband's penchant for hospitality and generosity!

We made it work and had a great dinner.  One of the men, as it turns out, is a homeschool dad who has triplets plus one more child!  The youngest of the three men has two toddlers at home and the other has older children ( teens or grown, I am not sure!)  It was funny to hear four men (my husband included) discussing diapers, breastfeeding and homeschooling!  I was very surprised!

Today is going well.  The boys are done with most of their bookwork and Kaitlyn just has a bit more also.

Left to do:

Kaitlyn:  Language worksheet

               Study for upcoming science and history tests

Jordan: retest for spelling

Ian:        Journal

               Penmanship/Scripture Memorization from Ephesians 2

I started sewing my mom's aprons during a quiet moment this morning and hope to work on that more later today after we do lapbooking!
