The Shortest Long Wait Ever

We had a bit of a wait until we received my test results back. The Doc had advised that we say in 'The Neighborhood' while we waited. We decided that met we could head to Iowa to visit my Grandparents & family. Afterall, in Alaska, a four and a half hour drive IS in the neighborhood . . . sorta . . . well almost . . . heck! We drive five hours just to get to our nearest mall or movie theater - so what is a few hour drive in the states?? Right? Anyhow, seeing everyone was definitely the highlight of our trip!

Addison and Tudie wasted no time getting caught up on the past 7 months! Addison has always taken right to her Great Grandmother - she just KNOWS that Tudie is someone important!


Addison also helped Papa Roy work on his numbers for an up-coming job.


That's our grandpa right there . . . and I do mean OUR. My Grandparents have adopted Sean as one of their own grandkids and we all love that!


While we were visiting, Addison and Tudie pulled out the MANY pictures we've sent to Tudie over the past two years . . . Addison loved it. The probably took those pictures out three or four times each day and Addison was so excited that she was ALLOWED to touch the pictures! One afternoon Grandpa pulled out some old pictures of his golf courses and showed them off to Sean. It was so cute watching both pairs check out their photos!


The love affair with Abby Cadabby continues . . . And the only thing that makes playing with her Abby doll more fun is playing with the doll and Tudie!


Look at those faces! It's hard to tell who's having a better time!


The day we left Addison put on one more singing/drumming/piano/dancing concert for Tudie.


She had so much fun!


Just loved watching these two together.


Lots and lots of love here!


It was sad to leave - but we'll be back in a few months for another concert (or 50). Meanwhile, Addison is rehearsing.
