Seeing that this is the week that Andrew was born and that Sunday is mother's day...I have chosen a picture of two amazing mother's and Andrew. My mother in law Jean is a mother of 4 amazing kids her and Ivan have been married ....a helluva long time they married when she was 19 ...she had Robbie when she was 20 or 21, I believe. Jean is a hardworking woman who when it comes to her own family is a momma bear and don't you dare say anything bad about any of them. She is one of the most most stubborn people and when Jean thinks she is right watch out. She is an incredible grandmother and doesn't just sit and watch her grandkids but is right in there playing with them. The best rule I ever came up with that has saved alot of arguments and hurt feelings is Grandma's house grandma's rules and believe me they hold me to it if I try to object to that extra cookie or treat. Now my mamma Helene is called Elmo. In Sweden your mother's mother is Mormor and your father's mother is Farmor, Andrew as a little boy started off with Momo then it became Elmo and it stuck. Nobody gives better hugs then Elmo, nobody bakes or cooks like Elmo either, all my boys have been serenaded on the piano by her as well, she has coloured with them and helped teach them to draw. She has enabled their addiction for kussi coo which is any fabric that is soft and cozy. Polar fleece and chenille are king at our house. ( I can just see their future girlfriends confusion when they get polar fleece pj's and chenille sweaters instead of lingrie) She is a very loving grandmother and it shows. This is one of my favourite pictures of Andrew. It shows happiness and joy...and who doesn't love a happy ending.
