Our Surprise Package

Grandpa Stata promised Naomi and Johnathan that he would send a surprise back with me when Ezra and I return from our trip to Colorado.  When my parents dropped me off at the Colorado Springs airport... Surprise!  The package was Grandpa!  I'm just glad I didn't have to fit him into my carry-on!  We had a fun week with Grandpa.  He went with us to physical and occupational therapy with the boys, took Naomi a Happy Meal and had lunch with her in the school cafeteria, and we all went to Austin to visit the Children's Museum there.

 The museum was a great one, too... lots of science exhibits, storytime, a big fish tank...

 ...a construction zone,

 and cool mirrors that Ezra loved.

 Johnathan read Ezra a book while Naomi created a masterpiece with cardboard tubes and scraps of fabric.

 And the whole crew had fun playing in the band and wrapping pretend tamales.

It was wonderful to have a little extra time with Grandpa Stata.  What a great surprise!
