My mom is arriving tomorrow! Since Charlie and Olive are the only grandkids in our family so far, they are spoiled silly with love, food, and gifts. They have been counting down the days until her arrival and the day is almost here! I didn’t grow up with grandparents because my dad’s parents died long before I was born and my mom’s parents lived in Korea, but I’m so glad that Charlie and Olive have the opportunity to spend so much time with grandparents on both sides.
