Reunited

(Note: this post is completely out of order and should have preceded the post "Why Arizona?" I thought I had posted it but given the chaos of this summer, one of the most important events had been left out. So without further adieu...)
Back in May, just days before we left Washington, Tim's Aunt Betty and Grandma Annabelle (his dad's sister and mom) came to visit...after over a decade of separation. They had found each other on facebook after his dad passed away and kept in touch every since. We certainly didn't mean to move just hours after taking them to the airport, but it was still such a blessing to have them visit...and their help during the move was paramount!

The kids may never have met them before their visit, but they took to them right away as if they'd known them since they were born. Desmond had formed a bond with his great grandma, and Aislin took to Aunt Betty so well that she couldn't stop from crying when she and Tim left the airport. 

We love those two ladies so much and are grateful to have finally met them!

The amazing quilts that Aunt Betty made for the kids!!

Told ya she loves this lady :)

This was our last visit with my family and the first time they had ever met (in person) anyone from Tim's family. It was a very special day, indeed :)
