Gaba (my mom who’s pictured above with M.E.) is going to be staying with us over the next few days, so I’ll be going on a blogging diet and won’t be around much. She’s partially coming to watch the kiddos, so I can get my teeth cleaned. Ugh. I do not share Madeline’s enthusiasm for the dentist. But the real reason for her extended visit (she only lives an hour away) is to squeeze in some extra time with her grandkids and to scoop them up in her arms while she still can.
On August 10th my mom, who is as brave as she is beautiful, is undergoing major back surgery. Her expected recovery time is anywhere between four and six months. As always, her inner Pollyanna is shining through, and she remains optimistic about her impending procedure and the expected results. Still, she could always use a few extra prayers.
I’ll be back in a few…

Your mom is so cute, and love her hair!
I will pray her surgery goes well, looks like she already has the right attitude.

Gaba is gorgeous – I can see where you get it from! :)
Hope you are well, my friend! Enjoy your time with your mom (despite that dentist thing.)
Jessica says
Does your mom ever age??? She looks just like she did when we were in high school! Beautiful!
I will be praying for her speedy recovery.

I love this picture of your mom, Kate; it's a keeper.
(And speaking of photos, I owe you a couple. Haven't forgotten. Not too worry.)
