Mom finally had to go home after three awesomely rainy weeks up here in Alaska. I think she got a total of one sunny day, but what do you expect for a record tying rainfall stretch? Other than the rain, I did my best to make sure she had a great time, but I think Tommy accomplished more in that department without fancy trips and events.

It's hard to compete with an adorable grandson. I know, I've tried. :)

We will miss her until she comes back to visit, which won't be soon enough. Since Tommy was asleep when we got to the airport, we walked mom in and had frozen yogurt with her before she had to head off through security. And of course someone woke up as soon as I was trying to eat my tasty treat. Luckily mom didn't mind holding him for awhile... ;)

Thanks again mom for helping out these past three weeks and we will miss you bunches! Thank goodness there is Skype until we see you again!!

(She asked me to get a photo of her and Tommy before she left, but its next to impossible to photograph the two of them together, someone is always making faces or moving. Or course this shortly turned into a tickle-fest, in case you can't tell from the second photo.)
