My Mom's Visit

During Eric's busy season, he has to spend several weeks running the Processing Center where they process OCC shoeboxes.  Last year, he went to NC for 4 weeks, missing Thanksgiving and coming home right before Christmas.  This year, he was based out of Baltimore, but worked evenings six days a week.  He would get home at 12:15am, so I was solo for the evening.  My mom came to help for a week and was impressed by the amount of laundry we generate.  Here are some pictures from her visit.

Audrey had an episode of lice during her visit, creating even more laundry.  


Eric was super exhausted on Sunday, his only day off.

During my mom's visit, Adeline had a bout of mischief. 



We got to visit the OCC processing center.  
The kids were thrilled to see where he spent his many hours away from home.

 
 Eric also got to volunteer in Elliott's class since he had mornings off.


He also got to go on Audrey's field trip to see the Nutcracker. 

Eric got to be part of an airlift to Iraq. 


 

Crows fill the trees this time of year.

On my mom's last night in town, we went to see the lights on 34th street in Hampden.

This record nativity scene was Audrey's favorite. 





It was great to have my mom here and always sad to say goodbye! 
Thanks mom for all your help and for doing dozens of loads of laundry!
