Happy Birthday Grandmama!!!!!!

Today is MY mom's birthday! We were living with my parents when Lydia was born...



And then, a few weeks later, when it was time to head back to Asia, Mom flew with us. It was a HUGE blessing to have her here for the first few weeks - we returned with 4 week old Lydia and not quite 21 month old Julianna. We moved back into a brand new apartment - almost empty pantry, unpacked boxes, and very little furniture (it was delivered a few days after we arrived). It was insane. Thank goodness Mom was here!

And, of course, the video birthday greetings! [if you look closely, you'll be able to see the results of Julianna's "I wonder what will happen if I mix all the playdough colors together" experiment!]
