Day 5 in Arlington - AKA Valentine's Day

Here's a few photos I was able to get Valentine's morning before I had to leave for the airport.


Aery was my bed bug while I was there. She woke up a little dazed, but then remembered it was Valentine's Day! She smiled so big and was wide awake once she remembered that little fact.


I woke Lizzy up and asked her if she was ready to get up. She said, "No...because you have to leave today!" So sweet!

Aery got a Ladybug animal, Lizzy got a caterpillar that's about 4 feet long!


Aaron and Cheyanne seeing just how much bigger Cam's new frog is than him!


Ahh, my froggie friend!



Cheyanne and I then left for the airport. I got checked in and realized that somehow I lucked upon the one direct flight from Dallas to Harlingen! No stopping in San Antonio, Austin, or Houston! An hour and half on the plane and home!

Jason picked me up and we went to lunch at Applebee's then went home. Where my Valentine's card and gift awaited me! The card was wonderfully poignant and the gift is awesome!

He planted two rosemary plants for me by the front door.

Day 4 in Arlington

Here's photos and videos from Friday the 13th in Arlington.


I like to sit in Momma's computer chair!




I like to smile!


This is what Tia did on her trip! A lot! And loved every minute!

After Lizzy got out of school on Friday we all went to a park nearby and the girls played while Cam napped the whole time.

Lizzy played on the monkey bars.

Aery enjoyed the slides.

She took time out of playing to pose with Cameron.

We found a little "pond" area down past the playground and saw ducks and turtles!
And the girls got to throw some pebbles and sticks into the water to make ripples.



Tia's last time to pick out his outfit for bed. Little baseball guy!!

Day 3 in Arlington

Here's a few snapshots from the Arlington trip. This would be Thursday the 12th.

Does my hair look ok?



Ahh! Bath time!


Sister helping comb my hair out.


Just hanging out with Tia!

We went for a walk and Aery started a stick collection. Cameron napped most of the time.


This is after a couple ounces of bottle. He TOTALLY passed out and I just laid him across my lap and pillow next to me on the sofa for a few minutes.



Cameron wearing his pj's Poppy picked out.
Oh and he's signing "I Love You!"

Day 2 in Arlington

We took a trip to IKEA in Frisco. We had lots of fun! Started with lunch in the restaurant, then through some of the showrooms, then the market place for some shopping!


Of course the food was yummy! ( Look familiar? It's because you've seen it HERE.)

(Except I can't get the cake at home, sadly.)



You have to understand that Aery has tended to find EVERY pair of scissors in their house and cut her hair at one time or another and another. She was so excited to see an entire bin of scissors!!

Shopping at IKEA is hard work! All passed out!




This is how the evening ended up, nice and relaxed.

More photos to come later!

Day 1 in Arlington

Here's some photos of the first day in Arlington visiting Cheyanne, Aaron, Lizzy, Aery, and Cameron.

This is Tues., Feb. 10th. I flew in to Dallas Love Field and then we drove to the house in Arlington. I wasn't able to get my hands on Cameron until we got to the house. This photo is a replica of one I have of me holding Aery when I first flew up to meet her. If I can find it back at home I'll post it later.



Tia & Cameron


This one was too sweet not to post. He was just staring at me trying to figure out who I was I think.


Here's just a few more random photos from that day.
Aery and Cam

All snuggled before a nap.

What a fun day!
