Way too Late

So, I'm sitting here at my computer and it's 1:09 am and my family has been in bed for a while now. I have really enjoyed keeping up with a few friends' blogs and reading about their lives. Since I solved the mystery and found out that Cajun Girl is my oldest friend from childhood, I'm not as leary of this blogging thing. Anyway, I couldn't be more joyful. My mom and grandma arrived last night for a week long visit to be here for little G's first birthday. My grandma hasn't been here since we were married and has never been to our home. It's a blessing to have them here. It's a blessing to still have a healthy, active grandmother when you are 35. I had great grandmothers until I was in my late 20's and it was always so cool to be with them... I pray that my kids have the same opportunity w/ Maw Maw... she's there only one left. So far we are just hanging out together, doing the daily routines. E loves having her Momou here and wants to eat what she eats, be where she is, read with her, play games with her, you name it: if Momou is game, E will be stuck to her like glue. A precious moment happened tonight though... my cousin and his family were here visiting. Maw Maw tried to hug one of his girls, but she declined and then E jumped up in her lap and gave her the best, long cuddle I've seen her give anyone other than us. Of course I started snapping photos left and right w/o interrupting the moment. Of course, I laughed to Andy the other night and asked him, " Are you sure that you are prepared for 4 generations of hormones and attitudes in one house for a week?" So far there's been a lot of good times and not too much attitude.... but tomorrow is another day, ripe w/ possibilities for attitude eruptions at any moment.... I'm laughing, but also praying that we keep the 'tudes under wraps enough not to ruin the visit- it's a precious gift and I don't want to waste it.
