across the country

it's amazing really that it all worked out, considering there is roughly 2400 miles between our house and the west coast where our family is. one grandma flying out east, two parents flying out west, makes for an incredible opportunity.

matt and i were able to go to rocklin a couple weekends ago to attend, and help out with, michael and hallie's baby shower. while we were gone, my mom came out to stay with the kids...all by herself. there were so many cool things about the time.

getting to celebrate this new life that will be entering our family in just a few short weeks! getting to spend focused time time with our nephew and niece. getting to spend time and seeing family. matt and i flying with out kids, which might i say is amazingly relaxing!

the momma and daddy to be

i found several ideas on pinterest that i wanted to give a try.
i was very pleased that things turned out how i had hoped!

favors and dessert

here in kentucky there were cool things happening too. grandma getting to know the kids at a different level. fun adventures at the zoo, parks, crafts and movies. grandma getting to teach isaiah in school. and frankly the fact that grandma rocked it all on her own.



it feels like a blip in time, like did that really happen? after all, who flies to california for the weekend? but at the same time, i'm so thankful for the time. such rich, intense, different space. i know i've said it before, but we are extremely blessed to have parents that make sure we stay connected and repeatedly give generously to us.
