To Philly and back!

We just got back from our Philly trip last night and it was overall an enjoyable trip. The boys did fine on the plane rides there and back. But we didn't fully anticipate how lack of naps could impact things after getting there. I think Gabe napped 2 out of the five days we were there, so his mood was not the best toward the end of the day. And while Zach kept mostly on his normal schedule, he was still kind of tired. But as everyone with kids knows, such is life when they are under 5, lol.

Unfortunately, the kids weren't able to interact with my grandpa because he got sick with an infection several days before we got there. He is in ICU, so Friday we went to the hospital and the nurses let them be outside the room to look at him. But gramps was not aware that we were there. Sunday, we went back and he was a bit more alert and knew I was there. But the nurses didn't want the kids in there again and risk getting sick. So that was definitely a bummer, but I'm glad Gabe was able to at least get a look at his great-grandpa.

I'll post some pics within the next day or so.

You know how much I enjoyed you, Craig and the boys. They are so special. My prayer is that I can relocate to Portland and spend my remaining days being just a Grandma. I want to be there to support you all as well as get some support from my family. Will is strongly thinking about relocating also. I pray this will happen. This will be so exciting to have my family around me as I continue to age.
Love you all, Mom
