Thank Goodness for Mothers!

So I'm not exactly where to start. The last couple of weeks have been hectic around the Rosenlof's... all I can say for sure is THANK GOODNESS FOR MOTHERS!! We have had some fun times and some not so fun times. It started two weeks ago when Ryan made a trip to Washington to work for 4 days. Work here in California at Ryan's job had gotten "slow", as it does frequently this time of year, so our friends the Nash's offered to have Ryan fly to Washington to work at their warehouse and do some side work electrical jobs. It was kinda of a last minute thing so I called my mom (who lives in Utah) and "tossed out" the idea of her coming to California to visit/help me with the kids and stuff while Ryan was gone. And here comes the THANK GOODNESS FOR MOTHERS part. Without any hesitation she booked a flight and was on her way!! It was great having her here, not to mention the help and the boys had a blast spending time with her!
Thanks mom!
Celebrating a belated birthday with Grandma Bell while she was here in California
So we managed to make through a week without daddy/husband with help from Grandma. We were happy to have Ryan returned home safely... and then it happened...
The Flu took over our house! Porter started the marathon Monday night... ALL night, Ryan joined the fun Tuesday evening (while I was at work) ALL night and by Wednesday morning it was all I had to make the drive home only to walk straight to the bathroom as I got home from work and bury my face in the toilet... ALL day Wednesday. Needless to say I was of no help after being up all night at work plus the day before and the night before with Porter and now being sick myself! Ryan was stuck with being sick himself and two little sick boys! Hence the THANK GOODNESS FOR MOTHERS again! Ryan's mom came to the rescue providing some flu necessities, not to mention her TLC and frequent phone calls checking up on us! What would we do without our Mothers!

So we managed to make it through the week, flu and all, and are slowing getting back on our feet. All I can say is THANK YOU, THANK YOU to our MOMS..

Louise and Robin.. YOUR THE BEST!! THANK GOODNESS FOR MOTHERS!!

Sounds like a busy couple of weeks. I bet it was very nice to have an extra hand there... but pretty crappy when everyone got sick. You are amazing to go to work all night on any normal day (night, I guess), but then to throw the flu in there... wow! Glad to hear that everyone's getting better though!

Amen sister. Mom's are the best! I'm glad you guys are feeling better. Collin is still not 100% but slowly recovering! I don't know what that darn Sunday party did to everyone! Knock on wood but I've somehow managed to stay clear!
