We had a visit from Nana, yesterday, so here are 10 things we are thankful for about her!
- She had the quilt-tops that I made last year made into actual quilts. We LOVE them!
- She reads books with us and asks questions. (Sophie)
- She plays outside with us. (Sophie)
- She laughs a lot. (Maddie, paraphrased)
- She tells it like it is.
- Her big heart. She takes on the roll of "Nana" to many, not just her biological grandchildren.
- Her tolerance. The girls were in rare form yesterday (read: acting ugly). She did not berate me for my poor parenting.
- My birthday presents yesterday. I know she wanted me to pick something a little more glamorous than a candle and a book, but those are things I never buy for myself. I love those big old candles from Bath and Body works and the book was Sew What Skirts. (Side note: I am now obsessed with those cute little skirts that the moms wear in Kelly's Kids that coordinate with their children. I know matchy-matchy is dorky-dorky, but I can't help it. I want to BE a cool Kelly's Kids mom...)
- She thinks that I am smaller than I am. :)
- She's always been so wonderful to me and has a great relationship with her son (Jeff). We love her so much!

Can't beat a great mother in law!
You ARE cooler than a Kelly's Kids mom! Love the quilt! Did I miss playdate today?
What a sweet tribute to her! She sounds awesome!
That's a great quilt! You should make and sell those since you have nothing else to do... :)
Yea MOMS!!!! I love moms and moms in laws. Matchy-matchy is dorky dorky, but I think i will like you anyways.
I like matchy matchy! If you have 3 girls you have to like matchy matchy. I don't think it is dorky dorky either!
Great quilt! I'm glad you had a great visit with Nana.
Awwww... that's so sweet! I was getting picked on in the hallway in elementary one time, and Diana came to my rescue. I wonder if she remembers that? I thought she was just the coolest.
