Short & Sweet

About a month ago Jeremy's high school teacher, coach and distant relative passed away. Jeremy was pretty sad about it and we wrestled with the idea of going home for his services. As badly as we wanted to be there, the tickets were obnoxiously priced with it being so last minute. Of course, in my planning I got myself pretty excited about the possibility of getting to see family, so when it fell through I was pretty heartbroken. So, we decided that Christmas was just too far away and we needed to make a quick trip up to NY. It was very short and rushed so we only got to see family, but it was much needed. We will get to see Jeremy's family in just a couple weeks for Thanksgiving as they are all making the trip to us this year, but I couldn't wait any longer to see my family again. That's one (of the many) thing that has definitely changed since Seth has been born. Family being so far away hurts even more now. Seth did absolutely fantastic with flying. He was either sleeping, eating or contently looking out the window!

Lots of snuggles...

Some "Halloween" treats - not really, but a good excuse to spoil these girls that I love so much and don't get to see hardly enough at ALL! 

And some quality time chatting, crafting, playing and hanging out! 

Trying out some cool weather attire! 

And lots of Gramma time!

He even got to meet some new family members! 

Jeremy's parents took us back to the airport at the end of our visit, so we spent our last morning with them. Seth got a little fall present : )

So thankful for our families 

and I can't wait for the fast approaching holidays!
