I have been back for 2 1/2 weeks already and Meme Frieda (Yossi's mom) has been with us for 2 weeks already. The girls are happy to have Meme around and give her much love.
She keeps saying that she doesn't help me much but having her here around is already a big help. The girls are thrilled to see her when they come back from the daycare.
Last Saturday I said goodbye to Rachel and Natalie and joined Yossi downstairs for a chat. Everything was quiet.
Rachel got out of bed and joined Meme in the living room. She grabbed her hand and asked Meme to join them in the bedroom. (remember, Meme does speak Russian, Yiddish, Hebrew and some German with me but no English, or just a few words). Rachel pulled the stool near her bed and Meme sat there and held her held while Rachel felt asleep.
The last week we were in Belgium, my mom would lie down with Rachel and would wait till she falls asleep.
Thank God for grandmothers!

Rachel is such a sweet, sweet, girl! And yes, yay for grandmas!
What lovely memories Rachel is building with her grandmothers - and what sweet grandmothers she has!
