M, the baby, and the cousin waiting at the airport for Ammi.
I am the world's worst daughter in law. My MIL was here for 17 hours before I shipped her out again.
Wait wait! It's not as bad as it sounds! You see, M has been traveling for his work for the past two weeks, and he's got one more week of travel left. He came back over the weekend to receive his mother (Ammi) at the airport, but he was flying back for work on Sunday afternoon. I knew that he was leaving again, but it hadn't really sunk in until right before Ammi was supposed to get here, and I was like "What am I going to do to entertain Ammi alone for a week?!!"
Actually, Ammi didn't fly here alone, she came with another women. M's sister was planning to have her MIL come for a visit also, so when they found out we were bringing Ammi, they decided that the two MILs should come together. So M's sister came to our state and we all went to the airport to receive them. As we were going to the airport I had a great idea - Ammi could go back to M's sister's house for the week!
It's great because that way Ammi doesn't spend a week sitting at home alone bored. Plus she of course wants to visit her daughter while she's visiting the US, and M's sister lives a not-too-terrible driveable distance from us, so Ammi could go with them easily. So that's what we did - we had Ammi go with them to visit for the week and when M comes back this weekend, Ammi will come back also and we can all settle into a summer together.
So that means we're back to the countdown. T minus 6 days until MIL arrival (version 2).

The kids are so cute!
That's a good idea, that way she can make the most of her time in the US with her family and you won't be stuck trying to entertain her
Really good decision.But you should make out your MIL the whole fact.i think that if M could make the decision then it will be better.
Aww reading :D... look at the baby watching the book so closely :P
Looks a lil...scholarly for this age :P
:D
Masha Allah :)
Your kids are very cute MashAllah
Your kids are adorable!
Precious babies masha Allah!
Your little boy is so cute and the cousin is a doll! How sweet ur hubby reads to them! I'm personally glad u got out of a week alone with the MIL. Even if she is a nice lady, settling in and all takes some time and it's best ur hubby is there when it happens. I really really wish the best for u this summer. Inshallah it will be a pleasant trip!
Thanks everyone!
You son is sooo cute! MashAllah.
