Mimi's The Best

Mimi made another trek out from Minnesota to come and spend time with her grandkiddos (and help me stay sane) :)  We are so blessed to have such an amazing grandma for our kids, I only wish we lived closer. The draw of moving to Minneapolis has never been so strong!  She cherishes them so dearly, and I hope they always know how much she loves them and has done for them.  It's no secret that Benjamin already LOVES his Mimi! He's always sad when she's gone and he can't go wake her up in the morning.

We had a great time enjoying cooler fall temperatures, which meant that we stayed in a bit more and spent time together.  We did make it out to the museum and the mall at two various points, but otherwise we just had a good time hanging out! She's also a big help for me helping with cooking, cleaning, and laundry - any mom's dream!  Matt and I even got an awesome date night in! She's welcome to visit anytime ;)

Here are some pictures from her visit - and thankfully she'll be back again at the end of the month!

She got Avery to smile!!
