Our Family

Second Stop: New York

Sunday Lucas and I flew home and were beyond excited to be with Sam again. We were able to spend a full day at home to unpack then repack the suitcase. Tuesday morning we headed to KC to get on another plane and head for New York. Our layover was pretty short in Chicago so I changed Lucas while Sam grabbed food. I have NO idea how people fly solo with kids often. Just trying to keep track of everything, diaper changes and lack of space. WOW.

Here are some phone pictures.

Next: New York Trip

First Stop: Dallas

Our crazy two weeks started with a trip to Dallas. My mom had spring break so we flew down Monday to spend the week with her. Our original plan was to take a train ride to the zoo on Wednesday and enjoy the wonderful weather. Tuesday I met up with some friends at the park and visited while the kids played. I need to remember to get pictures of adults AND kids.

The boys were so patient waiting for the tire swing.

Later that evening we had a little birthday celebration.

My mom went a little crazy with the Cars decorations.

Lucas is beyond spoiled.

Ice cream cake. My favorite.

Roughly 2 hours after we all sang Happy Birthday to Lucas and enjoyed cake, my mom got the gut wrenching call that my grandfather had fallen. After HOURS on the phone with airlines we drove my mom to the airport for a 6am flight to FL. We weren't scheduled to leave until Friday so we hung around Dallas in the warm weather visiting with friends and praying for grandpa.
We ended up staying in Dallas until Sunday spending time with my mom and making arrangements while my grandpa decided to be with G-d. He was such a wonderful man and it only brought us joy knowing he was no longer in pain but happy and healthy again.

Here are some phone pictures from trip.
