The second miracle that coincided with Stacey's accident is that Grandma and Papa Jim had already scheduled a visit and arrived 2 days after the accident. They have been life-savers!!! They always seem to be coming to my rescue and I do not know how I would have survived the past 2 weeks without their help. They are the most self-less, caring, loving parents I could have ever wished for. I love them more than I can express!Just to list a few things they have done....
Papa spent a whole day getting my van into good working order (a necessity since the trailblazer was declared totaled and the van will once again be our family vehicle!)
Grandma has done lots of laundry, cleaned all the bathrooms several times, washed hundreds of dishes, made me take a nap every day, driven the kids to school activities, driven me to the store and the doctor, walked up an down the stairs a million times and maintained lots of peace between an tired, impatient mommy and her 3 kids.
Papa vacuumed and mopped my floors a couple times and fixed a few broken household items...including the all important remote controlled helicopter.
Amidst all this 'work' Papa and Grandma have still managed to spoil all the grandkids. They took us to the Minnesota Science Museum where we enjoyed the Omnitheater movie The Amazon. Then, we saw The Spiderwick Chronicles at the IMAX and all loved it! Before Papa left, they also treated all the grandkids to an evening at Chuck-E-Cheese. Grandma and Papa also brought their Nintendo Wii and we have all loved playing it!!Because I am not able to drive and need a little more recovery time, Grandma stayed here in MN with us! We are so lucky and appreciate all she does for us. She even babysat Blake, Shawn and Lydia today....she was very tired. She is amazing and we love her very much!
