Nana's Quick Visit

In July, my Mom had to make a trip to Mexico to work out some visa issues (they were preparing to move there just a few months later, but had to apply in person for visas).  It was sort of a quick, spontaneous trip, and so she called me just a few days in advance to tell me that she was flying from Saudi Arabia to Mexico, with a layover at the Dulles airport that Saturday.  We were so excited!  She had a six hour layover, and so we were able to spend 4 of those hours with her at the airport.  It was so fun!  We went for breakfast, visited in the airport, and went for a walk outside.

The girls made a care package for her for the rest of her flight.  They made activity books (with connect the dots, matching games, spot the differences, and coloring pages).  We also brought her some of her favorite treats (Twizzlers) but ended up helping her eat half the package too!

She brought new books for the kids and got to hear Erin read to her for the first time!

Isaac wouldn't leave my side, so my Mom bribed him to come to her by sharing her strawberries.  He ended up eating all 6 of them, but it got him to stay on her lap! :)

After her strawberries we gone he moved on to her French toast!  No need for a fork, of course

It really was so much fun to see her!  Since it wasn't expected, having those few hours with her at the was such a great surprise.
