We took a quick trip to California to visit Grandma Shirley last weekend. We spent the whole first day in the airport because another lunatic decided to pull out a gun at LAX. We passed the time taking the tram back and forth at the Las Vegas airport, playing on the iPad and drinking smoothies. My boys are so resilient and awesome. I love them. After we finally made it to L.A. we spent another 2 hours waiting for our luggage. The Red Cross saved the day when they brought us a box full of snacks and bottled water. We were (read - I was) totally spent by that point.

Once we made it to Grandma's house the fun began. She held William every chance she could get. She looooves babies. I have really enjoyed watching her love on my little ones over the years. Its something I really miss now that we are gone. I know she misses it too.

We spent most of our time with Grandma, but we did see many of our dear friends in Santa Monica which was so, so nice. We also took a trip to the zoo and went to dinner with Aunt Debbie and Uncle Rob.

I especially enjoyed seeing these 3 together - Ella, Johnny & Eleanor

William & Rose - has a nice ring to it wouldn't you say? :) These two were born just days apart. She was actually bigger than him at birth. Hard to believe that now.

The whole Santa Monica crew.

Traveling with kids is so much work, but we did have some great moments, like this one - William actually sitting still on my lap!

And that's all I've got. Just a few phone pictures. It was a great trip though. The end.
