For those of you who don' t know... our lives are about to change...
This week, Jim and I are driving to pick up his mom in Illinois. Her health has declined drastically in the last few months leaving her almost completely confined to a wheelchair. We're moving her to our home permanently in order to be able to take care of her. We know it will be a bit of a transition as we work to make our home handicap accessible. While we love her dearly, it will be an adjustment for all of us- we're just grateful that we have the space and are able to take her in. Hopefully, we'll have the strength and direction to be able to find answers to her medical needs.
I've already warned the others (parents)- anyone else needs help- we'll pull the hid-a-bed out in the living room, throw them all together- just like on Willy Wonka... Fortunately, the other three are in good health!
Lucky for us... my mom is on a plane as I type... on her way to help as we get things set up. We get to keep her for a month! We're all thrilled, especially Caden who can't wait to snuggle with Grandma!

Hey Shelia- I've often wondered about you over the years. I'm so glad to see you so happy!! Your boys are big as are mine- didn't the time go by fast!! Good to "see" you!!
Sheila and Jim,
Our prayers and thoughts are with you. This I am sure will be a great adjustment for all involved and won't be easy. It is good of you to take care of her. Take care and love you guys!
