Welcome Back Colorado Boys - Days 10 & 11

Okay -- today is THE day.  We are going to sew pajamas until they are finished, no matter how long it takes.  Well, at least that is MY plan.  Getting the boys to settle down and start in is a different matter.  Surprisingly, the first one out to work is Caleb.  I give him some leftover fabric to practice on so that he remembers how the machine works and then we are off.

He does such a great job and is the first one with a completed set of pj's.

Roses in the Yard

Each year for my birthday, Jen gives me a mini-rose plant.  They are blooming so pretty right now.

So, in theory the boys were originally supposed to leave in two days, but with the change, we are just gonna keep on rolling.  Grandpa lets me sleep in today and they are off to the coffee shop for breakfast.  I sure do love that man.

Welcome Back Colorado Boys - Day 7 with Cousins

Today we are going to have fun with the cousins.  Splash Kingdom is on the agenda and Jen is meeting us there.  She gets delayed a bit so we have some time to kill and make a stop at the Fort Worth Water Gardens.  I love this place so much.  It's been a few years since the boys have been here and Caleb doesn't remember it at all.  I guess that means it's good idea.

The first couple of times I brought kids here, I constantly worried about them falling in.  It didn't happen so I'm not quite the nervous nellie that I was then.

Welcome Back Colorado Boys - Days 5 & 6

With Grandpa working from home today, we have a car and are gonna use it.  Caleb REALLY wants to go to the aquarium and so we shall.  Quick - before it gets too hot out.

They choose to do the tanks first and spend quite a bit of time laughing at the various fish.  I have to agree that some of them are just pretty bizarre to look at.  The nautilus, for example.

Welcome Back Colorado Boys - Days 3 & 4

Day 3 and we have a plan.  I think.  The morning is spent just hanging out and then we walked down to the highway to catch a bus to the mall.

Cars 3 is on the agenda and I have to tell you -- I think it's my favorite of thee Cars movies.  Way to go Cruise.

After the movie, a quick stop at the LEGO store provides some fun and kills time all at once.

Welcome Back Colorado Boys - Days 1 & 2

The sun is going down as we arrive at Love Field to meet the plane bringing me my grandsons from Colorado.  I'm antsy as it is since they are flying alone for the first time, so the sunset keeps me occupied while I wait.

It's always hard to get a good picture through a window and even harder when you are stuck between two jet bridges, but it is pretty nevertheless.  My heart does love watching the sun rise and set.
