Tampa

About a week and a half ago we received word that my Grandmommy in Florida passed away. She had a stroke 6 years ago and has not been doing well since then, especially in the past month. So it was not unexpected, but sad nonetheless. I know she was ready to go.
So, we made a quick trip down to Tampa for the funeral. Rachel and Keira were able to head down with Lonnie, Ethan and I. I was a little nervous about how Ethan would handle his first flying experience, but he did a wonderful job!
It was really good to see a lot of cousins, aunts, and uncles that I haven't seen in a VERY long time.

At Granddaddy's house:

The kiddos waited patiently while we finished getting ready for the visitation:

Granddaddy was so nice to share his water with Ethan:

Yeah, see what happened to the water?

At the Tampa Airport at 5am. Thank goodness for a convenient play area right next to our gate!

Okay, completely unrelated...

We got back from Florida on Thursday. Our 5th anniversary was on Friday, and we already had our whole weekend planned. So, we went on with the plans! Rachel and fam kept Ethan all weekend so we could enjoy some child-free, stress-free time. It was AWESOME!!!! We stayed at Embassy on Friday night, went to Ruth's Chris for dinner, went to see The Proposal, got Cici's cinnamon rolls for dessert (the BEST in the whole wide world), got massages in the morning, and spent the rest of the weekend just shopping, running errands, and believe it or not, cleaning up and organizing around the house. Although we had an amazing time, we were both very excited to see Ethan at church on Sunday morning! We missed him!

I wanted a nice picture of us at dinner, but never got around to asking someone to take our picture, so we did it ourselves! Ummmm, after about 20 pictures, I decided I just look hideous with braces and there was no hope for a good picture.

This is how we felt after taking so many pictures of ourselves. Started getting a little crazy!

One of our buys while we were out shopping was a kid-sized chair for Ethan. Love it!

So, that sums up where we've been lately and why I've not been blogging. I hope to get back into routine soon! (at least for 2 weeks, then it's off to Florida again, for vacation this time)
