They're here!!!

After a 45 minute flight delay, an hour wait to pick up their rental car, and about a 3 hour drive from Seattle, Crystal, Grant & Avery safely arrived at our campsite around 8:30 pm.  Avery was already asleep (it was 11:30 her time) so we just gave her some night-night kisses as they tried to put her straight to bed.   But oh how she has grown!

Picture of Avery right after we left Nashville in May (7 months old):

Picture of Avery (taken the next day) at almost 10 months old:

Crystal delivered a package to us from Isabella and Emmaline (Avery's cousins and our 2 other granddaughters).  In the package were some new pictures for us to put up in the camper.  The best picture was a life-size paper doll of Isabella.  On the outside of the paper doll were the following instructions:

                1.  Unfold Isabella.

                2.  Wrap her arms around you.

                3.  Receive hug.  :)

So that's what we did:

 

Pa and MiMa love you, Isabella!  Give mommy, daddy and Em a hug for us too!

After visiting for a little while, it was time for all of us to get some sleep because we had a big day ahead of us:  day trip to Mt. Saint Helens!
