Nana has Arrived

Well, the excitement is beginning.  Despite freezing rain and sleet in Pittsburgh this morning, my mom made it down today with no problems (she got her workout making her quick connection in Charlotte).  We spent some time reviewing my obsessive compulsive 6 pages thorough outline of the big kids' schedules for the week (after I had typed them up and saw our weekly schedule in black and white I realized that we are, indeed, insane.  Each and every week, simple insanity) and had tutorials on how to turn on the TV (we only have, at last count, 6 or so different remotes?), log onto the computer, and use our fancy dancy coffeemaker.  We talked about which big kid would walk and feed the dog when, and it was agreed that Jared will NOT be climbing trees while Mom and Dad are away.  At LIlly's request, Nana ("only Nana, not you, MOm) tucked in Anna and Lilly (both sleeping in LIlly's room for now) for bed tonight. 

Praying that Lilly has a better night than she has had recently--4 nights straight of fevers and violent coughing have made for some poor sleeping for her and Tom and me.  On top of that, Anna came home from school today with tummy issues, so poor Nana has multiple germs to combat while she's here.  Prayers for good health all around are welcomed!

Tomorrow I will finish the packing and a few errands, and Nana will continue her crash course in Cantilina Chaos.

Thursday we are Philadelphia bound.
