My mum is really, really, really here. AND we have been doing lots of crafty things together including a trip to the bead shop and lots and lots and lots of crochet which has been very therapeutic considering that two little boys have been sick and very cranky and needing lots of support and encouragement to make it through the day. So disappointing though because of course, with a grandmother living overseas, you want your children to be in top form. Thankfully she has had a few children herself and understands the whole deal - and completely adores her grandsons no matter what health she finds them in.
