A Visit with Nana Jane

Last week, my mother came to visit for the first time in months! We were so excited to have her and spend some time enjoying the help and fun adventures. Nana Jane woke up with Isabelle every morning and gave me a few extra minutes to sleep in. Nana would do all of those little things that Isabelle has to have done for her and it is so nice to sit back and let someone else do it. Isabelle had a blast and glued herself to Nana right away. I only wish we had this opportunity with her Grandparents everyday/week/anytime!! I miss not sharing our wonderful bundle of joy with everyone. Isabelle is just so much fun and I wish she had the love of her grandparents more often. It makes me very sad knowing that she has to relearn how wonderful they are every time they visit. I cannot wait until she remembers or until they get closer.

Anyways, on a lighter note, we did our favorite things together: shop, walk, drink coffee & watch movies. It was so easy and so nice.

On Saturday morning, Andrew, Nana, Isabelle & I set out on our first adventure together to Sedona, Arizona about 2 1/2 hours away from the Southeast Valley were we live. It was amazing. Andrew & Isabelle had never been. We soaked up the views, the weather, wonderful dinners eating out and the heated swimming pool. We took a long hike (about twice as long as we had anticipated), but the views were incredible and everyone lived. We visited artists shops, listen to Native music and ate at the same Mexican Restaurant twice in two days (Javelina's Cantina - AMAZING - Thank you GG Patty for the help)! What a fabulous weekend and thanks to our portable DVD Player, Isabelle seemed almost completely content in the car rides.

Mom, Nana Jane, we had so much fun visiting and cannot wait to see you soon! Love you bunches!! Now we are very excited to have Nana Janette visit May 2nd!!! Yeah!!!

Here are a few photos from the weekend! Love, AK&I
