My mom came to stay with me for basically a full month, and it was wonderful. She a week before my due date, and was a tremendous help with Matthew and Hannah while I suffered through those prolonged final days of pregnancy. And even though Mark's sister Anna had moved in with us, she was gone almost the entire time my mom was here - either in Germany or in Ohio. Mostly we just stayed home and hung out with newborn Henry. Near the end of her visit, we went to the zoo to celebrate my nephew Ayden's birthday. We had a fun time going around the zoo with Aaron and Benjamin's families, and the baby was perfect and slept the whole time. Mom's biggest accomplishment over the month was to get Hannah to call Matthew by his name. For some reason, she had started calling him "Hannah" and he would even respond to it. We were constantly playing the name-that-person game. But it worked.
