House Guests

AKA: Sister Wives

So you already know that Shannon lives in the basement of the house we rent but we have had a few more additions come and go in the past few months. Tim and the many women that surround him!

 First* up: Torey! Aunt To stayed with us for two months for a 

PT rotation this spring.

 Then: Aunt Meg came after school finished and our babysitters left town to watch Gemma for two weeks until she started work.

Next up: Grandma to fill the gap from Aunt Meg until Tim was done with school. I feel so lucky to have such a great relationship with my mother-in-law that I am always thrilled when she comes and stays for extended periods of time.

 Okay and then: we had Meredith stay with us for the summer while on internship in DC.

 Round it out: Nana came at the end of summer when Tim went back to work until Edie came and I was on maternity leave.

Seriously, how did we get so lucky to have so many wonderful women in our lives that would want to live with us and join the routine and chaos of our regular family life? And women that would give of their time to help with our Gemma. And join in the hilarity of those who look at us and wonder "which one do you think is the mom?"

*Technically Aunt Melon (Maddie) was first for her spring break when she watched Gem for the week but it went undocumented...
