The Mother In Law

Don't jump to conclusions yet just from reading the title. For those of you that want to hear the traditional "in laws" stories and are thus interested by the title of this post, you can stop reading now. For this post is all about how lucky I am to have such wondeful In-laws and in particular at this point my mother in law, Pam Norby.

For those of you that don't know, Chelsea's parents were not able to be here for the births of our first two kids as they were out serving in the mission field. However, for Brynlie's birth her mom was finally able to be here, and Brynlie was very accommodating to wait and come until Pam flew in her to San Antonio from Utah. She has been her now for 9 days and I have enjoyed having her in our home so much. She is such a HUGE help around the house, her cooking is amazing, and she is so good with Brooklyn and Caden. She has let Chelsea and I both sleep in while she gets up with the kids at 6 am. She does all the dishes so Chelsea and I can get the kids down to bed. She has done all the laundry since she has been here. She has helped Chelsea corral the kids while they try to go run errands. She has just been a tremendous help and I am so lucky that she was able to come and be here to help us out while we are still trying to get used to playing zone defense on the kids, rather than man to man.

Thank you very much Pam for putting up with us for these 2 weeks and for helping out so much. Also, thanks to Richard, her husband, for being willing to eat freezer foods for two weeks while I enjoy nice home cooked meals from his wife for two weeks! Thanks you two, I love you guys. I am so fortunate to have such wonderful "in-laws."
