Summer Vacation in the Southwest

Isabella and Victoria,

I know you are probably too young to have memories of this summer trip, but I hope these photos help tell the story of all the fun you had this past week. We flew to Albuquerque with Nana (leaving Daddy at home) to spend time with Aunt Rebecca, Uncle Jason and cousins Addison and Sienna. And Grandpa Rami met us there to also join in on the fun. You girls had a blast playing, dancing, dressing up, and taking field trips with your cousins. You didn't even show signs of missing home. And then after three fun-filled days we drove with Nana and Grandpa Rami to mommy's hometown of El Paso where we spent three more days away from home. There you enjoyed taking Chloe for walks, splashing around in the backyard and fooling around with your cousins Diego and Pablo. Finally, Daddy joined us for the weekend. Boy, were you so excited to see him! After a full week in the Southwest, we headed home. We all had a great time and are so blessed to have family that is so loving, giving, and hospitable. Thank you for these wonderful memories!

Beautiful!

Having a lazy morning with Grandpa Rami. The camera caught her enjoying her favorite pastime...thumb-sucking.

Watch me Mommy!


"Wheeeeeeee!"

The mommies


It's not even 7:30 a.m. and the big girls are ready to go to the ball. Nana, Victoria (and Puppy) chose to keep their jammies on a little longer before they start working on somebody's bedhead. Then they'll put on their gowns and glass slippers.


Acting like monkeys at the zoo.


This is God showing off.
