Tired

Daylight Savings Time just ended for the year (and I will miss it), I just got an extra hour of sleep over the weekend but I'm so tired!!

My Mother-in-law came to visit for a few days and we had a great time, but boy late nights up talking and early mornings don't mix even if you do get an extra hour of sleep!!

Yesterday we drove my MIL around to look at some homes with acreage. She is thinking she and her husband will move here to Colorado to be closer to her grandchildren. We are SO excited!! We hope it all works out!!


Grandma leading the horse while my kids each take a turn getting a ride!

I cannot express how wonderful it is for my kids to have a Grandma who plays with them, reads to them and engages in conversation with them!! She is already talking about how fun it will be to have the kids come for the weekend to ride horses and play with her 3 dogs.

I just hope it all works out!

We are so blessed and thankful to be near most of our parents. It is such a wonderful experience for the kids (and us too) and grandparents.

So nice to catch up on your blog. Love the Halloween costumes!

Hope all is well. Take care.

Grandparents are the best! I hope all works out, and your MIL will be living near you soon. I am finally catching up on blogs. I love the picture of you, and your kids titled Good Better Best. I book marked the talk to read in the morning. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

That is so wonderful! What a great blessing to have Grandma so close! I never lived close to my grandparents, but I wish my children could.

Isn't it strange, how even getting extra sleep messes us up? I have a better time in fall than I do in spring (when we lose an hour), but still, my body clock does not like change!

That would be great if your mil could move close to you. The kids would really benefit from having grandparents near, too (as long as you get along, lol). I hope it works out!

The time change has really affected me this time...I am soo tired.

Good luck finding a place for Grandma...it would be a joy to have her near you and your kids!
