and we are off!

this weekend
our girls came home from
their mission trip-
my hubbie and i had to
pick them up in seattle...
so we swung by and picked
up our grandson who was beyond
excited to see his mommy and auntie.
we were not even ten minutes from
his house when he asked, "are we there yet?"
(the drive to the airport takes 2 hours! )

when we arrived at the airport
we went immediately to the baggage area
where we were told the passengers
would be arriving...
we staked out the escalator
where we knew they would
have to ride up.

so we waited for them
and waited and waited-
little guy, started to get antsy
with anticipation-
he was so cute to watch...

finally we found out they

were coming from the other side

of the baggage area and 

gramps and the boy

started going up and down

the escalator to kill some time...

until he saw his mommy 

and his mommy saw him and

started sprinting to him!!!

oh, my goodness...sweetness!

after traveling and being up for over 24 hours,

she still had this gorgeous smile...

today, after church

the family all got together

here at our house,

for lunch and to hear about the trip-

they have stories i haven't 

even begun to hear...

but, i did get to see some AMAZING pictures!

now, i am sitting here-

packed for my quick little get away 

with my hubbie and our friends...

so the pictures and stories will need to wait

all i can say is it was wonderful to see their

sweet faces yesterday and have all my chickies

in one nest today!

we leave first thing in the morning (5am)

i am taking the laptop

but, i have a limited amount of time

on this getaway...don't want to waste it!

so we shall see what i post!

:)

i would ask

any of you who are willing to pray-

to pray for my step dad

he fell yesterday and is

in the hospital with

broken ribs, collarbone and punctured lung

please pray for healing and quick recovery

along with prayers for my mom

who i am sure is having a hard time

watching her husband

in this much pain.

thank you bloggie friends

for the support and love.

be blessed,

i send shiny smiles & hugs your way!
