In January the boys and I packed up and headed to Snowshoe for the week. Chris was going skiing in Colorado and we thought we were going to help out GiGi. I got sick with 2 migraines complete with throwing up and do you know the whole week Mom just took care of me and the boys. She demanded I go get a massage and she would take care of the boys. I will never forget coming back with Cooper having made his first escape attempt from the crib and Bear screaming himself to sleep in GiGi's arms. I walked in and she was sitting in the chair just holding Bear who had fallen asleep while holding a toy and she looked exhausted but then she sparkled. She had had a ball and we laughed and laughed over the whole episode for weeks. Then we took the boys out sledding. She had a blast taking Cooper down the hill and capsizing him! We watched our new favorite show King of Queens and movies and just holed up avoiding the snow. The only other time we ventured out was to go to the top of the mountain for bananas for Cooper. I got too scared to drive on the roads and in the middle of the road we switched and she wheeled us all the way up the mountain and back. I just remember thinking, "That's my Ma!" When we had to pack up we both cried, it had been a week of just enjoyment and pleasure. We hadn't gotten into "our stuff" as she calls it and it was just so nice. A week I will never forget.
