Mom in Town

Aimee here. My mom came into town for a quick trip for 4 days. We tried to cram a lot in that short period of time but it was fun and wonderful! She flew in on Tuesday night at PBI. We had originally planned to have me pick her up since Eva goes to bed around 7:30, but it worked out that Eva was awake and wired from having a long nap. When Eva saw my mom walking from the terminal I told her, "Go get her" and she did! Eva ran so excitedly to my mom and threw her arms around her.

The first couple of days where ever Kokolum (her nickname) went Eva wanted to be there too. "My Kokolum" she would say - knocking on the bathroom door and everything :). As soon as Eva woke up it was, "Hi. Mommy, Daddy, Kokolum?" Thursday and Friday were pretty rainy, but all went well. As our earlier post noted we went to Magic Kingdom, we wish Justin could have come, and had a magical time. We had a date night Friday so my mom could have a special night with Eva. On Saturday we did some Christmas shopping, had a yummy lunch at Cheesecake factory and a pre-Christmas gift exchange that night.

I love having my mom in town. I am never ready to see her go and always wish she could stay longer. She is a wonderful positive force in my life and her easy going attitude with the ability to still have good ideas and opinions makes her enjoyable to hang out with. The nice part about this trip is that we knew we could look forward to her next visit - which will be very soon after the baby is born. We love you Mommy! You're the best house guest!

Yes, you described your Mom to a tee!
Kokolum is the sweetest name. So endearing.


Love, Aunt Carole
