I quietly entered our home tonight at 9:30 pm.....

positive that I would hear nothing more than my "littles" deep breathing. (as you may know, bedtime at the Telfords is near unto a religious holiday)

I crept up the stairs and listened as my A-Dorable mother asked Aspen what it meant to find something "Exhilarating." (She's an English teacher, she can't help it.)

Seriously. So Cute.

Sometimes, we just need our Grandma to help us see which rules are.....bendable.

Thanks, MOM

and P.S. She's four. ;)

This is a picture of Penny and me at the BEST Mother's Tea Party I've ever attended.

Her most adorable preschool teacher put on an incredibly well thought out luncheon last week in honor of Mother's Day.

It was so fun!

They served us lunch. Yum!

They cleared our plates using their very best manners.

They sang! SHE SANG!!!!!

It was the best.

They made a book that brought me to tears.

Miss Heather, YOU are a Wonder!!

oh my melting heart, and some rules are for the bending....grandmas and the american idol finale.
and the tea party still hurts, could you be a little more sensitive to that?! ;)

Are you sure that wasn't Karen reading with your children...I'm pretty sure I've seen that same scene play out here! I can just hear her say "exhilarating"...love it!

I need me a grandma. And I love that your bedtime rule was broken! Yes! You go grandma! I'm telling you next thing we know Tom will stay up past 9:30. Now that's just crazy talk! (Love ya Tom-you're just too fun to tease!)

How cute is Marcie! It makes me miss my Mom so much - I think I cry about everything these days. You look adorable too!

Grandma's are the best. I can't wait to be one. I know that sounds silly since it is so far away, but I really think it will be wonderful!

I am so happy that Aspen performed for you! Perhaps there is hope for the ballet recital. She is such a beautiful girl. I love this picture of the two you you lovely girls!

Can Grandma Barlow come over & read to the Quigley girls one night :) I LOVE Marcy!! She is so cute what a great post, Liza :) So true on the rule bending too. Maybe Tom will bend a little & let your kids enjoy their Halloween candy one year-ha!!
