Vacation


Me, Chris, Gran, Isaiah, Papa & Phillip

We went to visit Chris’ Granny in Texas for Thanksgiving!  It was a surprise for her.  Chris’ parents and brother went into the house and everyone got all sat down.  We waited a bit and then we quietly opened the door and sent Isaiah in.  When Granny saw him, she just started crying.  She told us that she didn’t know if she was seeing things at first.  It was also the first time Chris’ Pa-Paw (Grandpa) saw Isaiah.  It was fun to be able to give them so much joy!

We were in Texas from Thursday through Monday.  On Saturday we had a family reunion.  I met a lot of Chris’ extended family.  Isaiah had fun playing in the closet the chairs were kept in… don’t ask me why.  He also got to hang with his Uncle Phillip, which he really enjoyed!

Isaiah has a special place in his heart for his Papa!  He has ever since he was little and I think it all started with his voice.  Chris’ dad sounds a lot like Chris and I think that instantly put Isaiah at ease when he was small (Since Daddy is pretty much his favorite person in the world).  Somehow it’s carried over and he still runs to Papa first.  It also might have something to do with the fact that all Isaiah has to do is hold up his arms and Papa will do whatever he wants!  Every little kid’s dream come true.

When we flew out on Thanksgiving day, the airports were like a ghost town, but today they were insane!  The line for the security check was so long it started outside the airport doors.  But it moved fairly quickly and we had plenty of time.  Both departing and returning we had a direct flight, which was amazing!  I’ve never had that before and it really cut down on the stress… which was good, because flying with an almost 2-year old is very stressful.  On the way to Texas (a 3 1/2 hour flight) he slept for about 20 minutes!  It was insane.  Thankfully he slept for a couple hours on the way home, so it wasn’t too bad today.

We had left poor Chester at the kennel while we were away.  He was very glad to see us!  When we got home tonight, he would re-greet us every time he came back in from being outside.  But he has also seemed sad all evening, like his feelings are a little hurt.  Poor thing… I missed my baby dog a lot!
