Nana's Trip to Indiana

Mom was surprised at the carload that was awaiting her arrival when we picked her up at the airport around 12:50 AM Saturday morning. All of us were present, including Gamba! Gamba decided to give us a scare and find away to make his entire face swell up so that we had no choice but to bring him to make sure he was doing okay. I firmly believe he knew who we were going to be picking up and he didn't want to miss one second with her.


This is the first time Grandma Crazy (that's what Gamba knows her as, long story) has seen him since we lost Lutalo so she had to spoil him rotten. And that she did. He allowed every bit of it.

Samuel, of course, was not forgotten.

Neither were we.

Mom had gotten a portrait of me framed from our wedding day. It turned out beautiful.


She also got a picture of her and my daddy on their wedding day framed for us. I have always wanted one of them blown up.


We had a great weekend. Mom loved being with her boy and we loved having her here. Life is always a little sweeter when moms are around!

Samuel had his birthday party at the park on Sunday and he had a blast. We had dirt dessert for him. His favorite part though was playing in the waterfalls with Dada.


On Monday mom helped me in the garden and Samuel enjoyed riding around in his wagon.


We love you so much Mom! We're counting the days until we can go on the big bird and come see you. 56 more!
