The first week of Nora's life, Paul took work off and we were on our own. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was really nice to have our whole family together as we started off on our adventure with three kids. An added bonus of course was not having to worry about cooking dinner, since friends brought us meals every night.
After that first week, we were lucky enough to have my Mom come to stay with us, and Paul went back to work. My house always gets whipped into shape when she comes, and this week was no exception. She amazes me how much she can get done, all when entertaining two busy little boys. Nora seemed happy to meet her Grandma!

Here Peter amazed us by stacking 15 blocks, and Benjamin amazed us with his self control by not knocking it down.
Another beautiful shot of Grandma and Nora.
Nora did a happy dance when her cord fell off this week.
Benjamin enjoyed reading books with Grandma on the air mattress every night. She is a great story teller!
Nora mostly did this all week, making us often forget we even had a third child.
My Mom finished making this beautiful blanket for Nora, and I witnessed firsthand how time consuming it is to sew on a ruffled edge. This was a labor of love!
Before taking Grandma back to the airport, we had a little lunch at our favorite pizza place.
And now it's back to just us. We miss you, Grandma! Thanks for coming!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbHiBpw5puE5Dgr0fcU4u1RKlGul1ubkm0xcslq6arEqz2v5VW58Mfj_D-s9T75VlGS-SzsokpL6CnCsIgLQMgcuLCViZ0R0oYUpuE8qa-SNAnbSEqpxf8RQJElxPO7hkVJuqe7A/s320/DSCN1741.JPG)

How nice that you had your Mom in town after the hubs went back to work. It looked like your boys had a blast while she was there (and Nora too). I hope you're doing well!
Grandma Lowe is amazing! Thank you Becky for taking such good care of the whole family. Isn't little Nora beautiful! Love you all!
How fun. I'm so glad you got to spend a week of heaven with Mom there. She's great, isn't she? That little Nora is a GORGEOUS little girl! I can't wait to meet her in person!
As far as I'm concerned,the pleasure was all mine. I loved being there with your wonderful family, and having a chance to bond a bit with sweet little Nora as well as Benjamin and Peter. I had a great time! Thank you! Mom
She is SO beautiful, Sarah! I love these pictures, especially the first one of her over Mom's shoulder. What a sweet baby girl you've got! She just makes me smile.
