Then, Mammy was there at the baggage claim!! It's been way too long since we've seen our mama/mammy- especially being so spoiled getting to live with her for a year and a half! We walked to the car and actually sweated on the walk!! I was elated, Joel was disgusted- haha. Coming from the craaaazy snow we've been getting in SLC, the humid warmth was a delightful change. Mom's house in Austin is so great, of course! She makes every place she lives so creative and special. She also lives across from a farm that has tons of goats that love for the kids to feed them leaves. That delights them to no end!
You know one thing I love about Sam and Amelia that always surprises me? How curious they are about the natural world when we are visiting places. They asked mom all about the birds, plants, trees, etc. on our walk yesterday and were SO excited about the snails and cactuses along the way. I'm not sure why this always takes me by surprise, but I sure do love it.
Today Echo, Tara, Lucy and Robin came and it was SO good to be together and of course to see the cousins play. They made a "rock shop" and sold their collection by the road, decorating it and all. The mamas all made purchases I think, as well as two people who walked by and sweet Rick and Crystal, whose driveway the rocks came from! :)
The flights here were fine. Always "exciting" to fly with a toddler. Sure was glad to have Joel with me to share in the excitement, hehe. Sam even held her for a while, which was nice. Thanks Sammers!
Better go, in the car and don't want to get carsick. Heading towards Grandpa and Grandma's for the week!
