september was a really hard month for me because ryan was gone A LOT. he had to go away for several meetings to prepare for a big meeting that took place in anaheim the last week of the month. thankfully we have a lot of loving family members who either took us in or came to visit for the longest stretches ryan was away.
my mom came down for the last week that ryan was gone. We were sad my dad couldn't make it, but we made the best of it and had a really great time! And she was amazing; she got up at 6 a.m. with sully and watched cartoons so i could sleep in a little and she always managed to calm theo when he was at his crankiest. she made me breakfast and played endless games of 'hoops' with sully so i could take a shower or nurse theo in peace. I took sully to sharyn's one of the days she was here and we did a little shopping and went to a nice lunch. her visit made me realize how much i miss having my parents around!
towards the end of the week my sister came down and we had some fun 'lagerman girl' time. when we finally dropped my mom off at the airport sully went into hysterics; he didn't want her to go! it was so sweet. :) i put nana in parenthesis in the title of this post because while sully was eating breakfast one morning he looked at grandma and said, 'nana?' My mom said, 'that's right! nana!' before we realized he was asking for a banana. :) but i thought that might be a nice name for her, that way the boys have ryan's parents as grandma and grandpa and my parents as nana and pappy. what do you think, mom?
anyway, the above picture sums up the whole visit: love love love! and the cartoons sully is watching. :) thank you mom, i love you!
