WE ARE BACK!

Here are a few pictures of our trip to Oklahoma. (I keep forgetting this posts everything in reverse - the first thing last, and the last first . A judgement day reminder maybe? =)
I spent the first week and then Al joined me there, and we went on to visit Sean in Visalia, Ca before coming home. I'll post soon of our visit with Sean. Holly with Addie on the slide (she was amazing, Addie that is - and Holly's a wonderful mother)
Grandad and Grandmom with our two OK granddaughters - how we miss them!

Christian and I having coffee together - What a delight it was!
Storie and her Grandmom - I'm in heaven, can you tell? =)

We are back home after a wonderful time in Oklahoma with Christian, Holly, Addie (2 years old), and our not-so-little 2 month old (13 lb) grandbaby, Astoria Rose, or Storie as everyone says. We 've only been home a little over a week and miss them all already!

It was such a joy being there with them; taking Addie for walks to our "secret place" so Holly could have some quiet time or catch up on some sleep; spending time kissing, holding, feeding, changing, and rocking - or shall I say walking and shaking baby Storie ( she did not like when I sat down with her. I wondered just how she knew, but they always know =)
We really enjoyed the times with Holly and Christian as well when the babies were asleep, and had some great meals together - from Trinidadian cuisine to Holly's amazing dishes (she's a great cook), and wonderful Mexican food on my birthday. The time just flew, and now when I get up in the middle of the night I miss those rendezvous times with Holly and baby Storie.

We miss you, too, Mom & Dad!! Come back soon! Addie asked for days afterwards where Grandmum and Grandad had gone.

You were a huge blessing and we're SO grateful to have had you down. You really were a huge blessing, giving us some respite from the kids in the middle of the nights, etc. We love you and hope to see you again real soon!

Thanks for the update of Addie & Storie! I was beginning to forget what they looked like! :) I know, I've been post lazy too, but it sure is good to have everybody blogging again!

As I was going back to make a comment on the CA pictures, I renoticed the picture of you and Christian and was amazed at how much he resembles you! Never really noticed or thought that before!
