a grand trip

laurel and freddy and i flew to texas on feb. 26th. we were so excited to see kissy and buddy

and i think they were a little happy to see us too!

we had a great lunch, afternoon, and night with them. freddy was still recovering and did such a good job with his breathing treatments.
the next day, freddy and i were supposed to fly to birmingham, but our flight got canceled. so we got to spend another night in colleyville!

on tuesday we made it to birmingham for abbi and pops to pick us up. barbara and caroline surprised us at the airport. it was so good to see them too!

freddy and i had a fabulous-but-oh-so-short visit in tupelo with abbi and pops.

meanwhile, laurel had a BLAST in texas with kissy and buddy. so much to do, so little time!

thank you, kissy, for all the special attention. your girl sure does love you! (and you too, kissy's husband...)

freddy LOVED being on the back deck in tupelo.

we even got to see cousins! thank you carley and richard for dinner. maury, lucy, rebecca, and celia - freddy loved hanging out with you!

freddy and i made it safely back to texas and then the next day we flew home to colorado. that leg of the trip was one of those "no way" travel days, but we made it! and we were so happy to see daddy in denver!



we had such a good week. we are certainly blessed and never want to take our incredible parents for granted. what a precious gift for our kids!! we sure missed daddy though and i have a sneaking suspicion he missed us, too...
