Some of you know that Marc is leaving early in the morning for the States, for 11 days. I've been really bummed about it, but I know he will have a good time. He's participating in a conference in the Atlanta area and then will be in some meetings in Virginia the rest of the time. I did tell him he's not allowed to have any fun without me. :) A while back we had asked my aunt and my grandmother to come over for some of this time so I would not be alone with the girls, etc. They made their plans back at Christmas time and they arrived this afternoon! My mom and dad both work and they were not able to come over. But I was just thrilled with having my aunt and Nannie!
The girls were so excited waiting at the back door for them to arrive this afternoon! We all went into the living room and were chatting for a few minutes when there was knock at the front door. I went to open the door and who did I find?!?
MY MOTHER!
She has been planning this surprise since Christmas as well! Y'all, all words left my mouth when I saw her. She had her camera in hand and took a hideous picture of me in total shock! I am debating about whether to show you or not! I could not think of anything to say, but Marc walked up behind me and said, "Happy Mother's Day honey!" I just stood there bawling like a baby. I could not believe everyone had kept this from me, I had NO clue she would be able to come. I even spoke with her on her cell phone yesterday from the airport and I still had no clue! Isn't my husband the best?!? He arranged everything for them to come!
What a blessing to have my mother, my aunt and my grandmother here all to myself!
(I'm sure none of them will appreciate me putting this picture on here since they are jet-lagged and exhausted, and we had just gotten up from nap! )
I'm pretty sure Marc is glad he's leaving in the morning! ;) Thank you honey, you're the best!

If you get fed up when your family go back, you can come and hang out here to stop you missing Marc too much.
A "gourmet burger bar"??? I've heard it all now! That is soooo American!
Oh wow! What a wonderful surprise! That is so sweet of Marc! And it's great that they were able to keep it a secret! I'm no good at those! Ha ha ha!

That is the greatest thing I've heard in awhile. Good job Marc! You've set the bar high for our Mother's Day in May! :) Have a WONDERFUL time with all your family! Love you guys!
How exciting for you! It is fun to be suprised...extra since it was such a BIG suprise. It will be a fun girl time.
Hopefully, we will get to see Marc while he is here on this side of the ocean.
Happy Mother's Day. I don't know why, but I teared up when I read that your Mom came. Maybe I miss my Mom? I'm so happy that you are not alone with the girls for 11 days while your Hubs is away. It's just hard! I hope they brought you lots of fun goodies...peeps for Easter!
That's awesome! Couldn't be much better to celebrate a Mother's Day with your kiddos and your mom, huh?!?!?
Wow, that is so cool. Marc is da man. Hope you enjoy your time with them. ;-) I know that it is killing Marc that he can't stay at the house full of women for 11 days.
Oh...that is great! I'm crying with you right now...it is so sweet and special. happy mother's day to you all!
How fantastic for you all, have a great time!
