To Granny and Papa's House

While Brett and I were away in Guatemala for the mission trip (still working on getting pictures from that trip from others who went so a post is coming soon!), Brett's parents were ever-so-kind to keep the little guy for us. They drove to Dallas from Austin, picked us up and took us to the airport so we could say our goodbyes, and then headed back to Austin.

Before they left town, they hit up Bass Pro Shop, where JW posed with Papa and took a stationary spin in one of the show boats :-)

They also picked up Ruby and Riley and kept them for the week. Awesome times and memories for these three!

On the road again...

On Sunday after church, they went to Krause Springs to check out the 32 springs and both man-made and natural spring pools.

JW can recommend that it's a great place to take a good nap!

That week, we were told that Jameston and Ruby had some sharing difficulties. Since there were two brooms, there probably wasn't a "Mine" spat during this picture:

Also that week, they had fun modeling hats,

playing in the pool,

building in the sand box,

and JW had a grand ole time on the scooter and with the blocks Papa made for him!

He lived the good life and got a home-made smoothie almost every day

Can't resist a good photo-op!

Riding back to Dallas with JW in his carseat and the girls in their boosters.

Cousin love!

Once back in the metroplex, Jameston also got to see his cousin, Layne, who came to town with her Mommy and Daddy for a friend's wedding.

Gotta love these tow-headed cuties, especially in their Hawaiian print outfits!

That Sunday JW kept saying, "Mommy and Daddy. Airport. Mala (for Guatemala)!" Here he is waiting and watching with Papa

Reunited!! We were SO READY to get back home to our sweet boy!

I think he was happy to see us, too :-)

We probably missed him more than he missed us, but we don't want to leave him for that long again anytime soon!
