Phoenix Visit

We just got back from our first trip as a family of four. Now that Sam reached 3 months of age we decided to fly to Phoenix so that everybody could meet him for the first time. Also, my grandfather has recently been very sick and we thought now was a good time to get to spend some quality time with him. It was a very busy and fun week spending time with our friends and family. Les and I also took the opportunity to fly up to Vegas for two nights while my parents watched the boys. Les and I had a great time together, it was certainly wonderful having some alone time with my hubby. The boys also really enjoyed being alone with Papa and Grammy, who did an amazing job taking care of them (despite their little colds). Lucas also could not get enough of his precious cousins, Jillian and Ethan as well as his new little friends (Kylie, Andrew, Josh, Clare, Katriona, Evi and Ben). They all got along so well and it was so nice watching them play together. I feel so blessed to have such an amazing Phoenix crew of friends and family. Believe it or not, below are just a few of the many pictures that were taken during the week. Now that we are home, we certainly miss everybody so much and can't wait for our next trip to Phoenix.

It was hard for Zete to get out of bed, but seeing Lucas and Sam made his day

Kylie is so precious and enjoyed visiting her daddy at work

Lucas absolutely loved playing with Kylie at the fire station
