When Nona comes to visit...

 Nona surprised us with a visit last month!! She was staying for a full week and we were absolutely ecstatic!

We introduced her to the finest fajitas Texas has to offer at Lupe Tortilla, then just played and played! This included story time at Discovery Green, feeding ducks and riding the train at Hermann Park and going to the Houston Zoo. Finn was in heaven, he looooves his Nona.

 
At the end of the week we sadly and SLOWLY drove Nona back to the airport and there Finn would not let her go. He just held her and said "no Nona, no Nona!" 
Who can say no to that sweet face, definitely not Nona and at times not even me!
SOOO........
I sent him on the plane with her? yep, yep I did. With nothing but the clothes on his back, and a few diapers and snacks that I had packed for the day, he was put on a plane to Utah for another WEEK with Nona and this time, PAPA!


of course he had SO much fun with his fun cousins, a ton of toys, snacks and treats whenever he wanted, and unlimited time with his Nona and Papa. Adding a lot of calls home to Mommy and Daddy to ensure that we survived too!
Airport reunion!

Then as an extra bonus, I got to visit Utah at the most beautiful time of the year!

The End... Right? 

What a couple of weeks, there couldn't possibly be more?
WELL, we got such a good deal on my ticket because it came with a 24 hr layover in Colorado. So we got to see Cory and Mindy and more of our fun cousins!!
 We stopped by to see Cory in action and I just couldn't resist taking a picture of his name on the door in HUGE letters. He's so professional it's crazy, I'm so proud of him!
these children are adorable and I am officially wrapped around their little fingers!

Finn completely adored his cousins they were so sweet to him and we had so much fun! 24 hours was NOT enough time!

  1. What an exciting series of events! And I don't blame Finn for not wanting time with Nona to end. His Nona is an amazing women who I enjoy spending time with as well. What a sweet boy you have, and how blessed he is to be a part of such a wonderful family. And gets to fly free to make spontaneous adventures possible.
