Happy Veteran’s Day
Thank you to all the veterans and currently serving military people that we know and love. Thanks for your service to our country and for the sacrifices your families have made to serve our country.
God Bless and keep all the members of our military.
Nonnie’s Visit
My mom came to visit last weekend and had a great time. The photo above is my favorite of the weekend. Nadia was watching Nonnie pack for the trip home and then needed to bring her bags too. This was right before we got in the car to go to the airport. When my mom arrived on Friday it was a play fest for her and Nadia. For dinner we headed to Pappasito’s (of course) and then a little more play time before bed.
On Saturday we headed for Central Market for my mom to buy supplies to make homemade marinara. YUM! It was awesome and our spaghetti and meatball dinner fueled us up for the trick or treating that night. The play continued on Sunday and I think that they found every “little people” in the house.
We also did arts and crafts on Sunday.
Nadia took every opportunity to play with Nonnie and even jumped on her which was quite a surprise 🙂
I am so glad that my mom had a chance to come out and spend the weekend with us.
Thankful Thursday
I am thankful that I still have my 30 year old “Eagle Blankie” so that I could re-create this photo with Nadia. My mom brought this photo with her on the visit last weekend.
