Grandma Crystal Comes to Idaho

My beautiful mother Crystal Markowitz has come to visit us in Idaho for several months. She is recovering from cancer surgery and radiation treatments and we are so happy that we can spend this time with her. Things have gone well. We have had our challenges and our difficult days but overall things have gone smoothly. It has been extra fun for her to spend some time with the great grandchildren. There is nothing like a baby to heal the soul! I'm sad that I didn't think to get a photo of Courtney and Kyler with mom, but I did get these cute snap shots. Grandma Crystal doesn't know how lucky she is that Kyla crawled up on her lap and fell sound asleep. Kyla rarely does that - she likes to be in her bed to fall asleep but we were just playing and tending Kyla while Amiee was in Idaho Falls shopping and Kyla got tired, crawled up on Grandma Crystal's and she was out. Mom had to get up but we laid Kyla on the couch and she slept for over 2 hours! It has been difficult for mom to have the strength to hold Aden and so Heidi and Grandma held him together. :)

I think that's so awesome that Kyla fell asleep on Grandma Crystal. What a bonding moment. :) AND that she slept for so long!! Thanks so much again for watching her for so long!

Its amazing how children can sense things; I think that our little grand-daughter sensed that your mom was ill and she was wanting to make her feel better. I hope she gets to feeling better soon.

Those are really sweet pictures. It will be a nice memory for them when their older.
Love Heidi
