One Last Hoorah with Grandma

My mom bought all the kids new swim toys (as part of their "birthday party") and we used them the morning before she flew back to Phoenix.  The kids had a wonderful time with her and I think she felt the same.  We just do not get to see family as much as we would love and it is hard to say goodbye when the time comes that they have to leave again (it always comes way too fast).  Mom is a great person and makes a wonderful grandma... she always spends so much time and attention on the grandkids, they never feel jipped when she comes.  I love it!  I miss her like crazy and wish she lived just down the street!
