Mom came in for a visit almost a week and a half ago. I'm afraid I've been busy with studies or visiting so I did not update the blog sooner. As you can see she even brought snow with her.
I'm really jealous of Mom's Nikon camera as it takes such great shots. My Olympus has been taking grainy shots for the last year. I suppose it is time to upgrade.
Yes Gareth is about 5' 7" right now and is showing no signs of stopping! Here is is wearing the SDSU shirt Mom brought for him.
Mom brought the girls Mandy dolls and they have been constant companions to the little Morrison girls.
So Wendy picked Mom up and I stayed home with the kids. When they arrived I had the curtains closed and Wendy, using her net book, opened up an instant message with webcam. I told the kids that Grandma was online and wanted to see them before she headed into town. Fiona was the first to ask if she was still in America and as soon as the penny dropped they tore open the curtains to see their 'Granny' in the back garden. It was a nice surprise for them. Gareth had run upstairs. I think he figured it out and was trying to see her in the garden from the upstairs window.
We have shown Mom around Oxford again, and took her to the farmers market, antique market and French market.
I took her to London and we watched the changing of the guard. I will make another blog post with more pictures.
The weather has not been the greatest, we have had snow, lots of rain, hail, wind, and warmth. If you don't like the weather in Oxford just wait five minutes.
Friday we went to the Pegasus Theatre preformance of "Perpetual Motion". Both Gareth and Bronwyn had parts in the multi sketch show. Cameras are not permitted so we could not take any pictures.
Mom leaves on Wednesday so that gives me today and Tuesday for a full day visit as I have lectures on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. So Wednesday I will take Mom to the airport then head into the University Library and study until my lecture.

thanks for such a nice post. I really had fun, and it was so hard to leave. The kids have grown so much in the last 2 years, it was very hard to say bye. Hope it wont be so long before the next trip.
