Grandparents and little Lummins

I think this might have been my parents best trip yet.
It was a few hours on a plane compared to the usual two days of driving (and they both survived the flight without medication or alcohol). They seemed very relaxed and enjoyed four days of Lummin lovins!
And we've begun to plan they're big move to AUSTIN!!! Hooray Hooray!


But now we're down to 3.
We dropped my parents off at the airport this evening and it wouldn't be normal these days if my husband weren't traveling.
I do believe I'll take the advice of my friend and schedule a "business trip" for myself soon. like to Cancun, or Jamaica perhaps...

Tonight it's just me and the Lummins and a good bottle of wine.

That is a beautiful pic of your parents and your Lummins. :-)

And I know how it feels...we are often just the 3 of us lately...and the trend will continue until Fall. :-(

Enjoy your wine!

Sorry, Dwayne's gone so much these days. We had a nice visit with him last night. What a great surprise it was to see him. But, I think the visit was much too short especially for Dwayne's dad and brothers. We always hate to see him go. I wish you and the kids could have come to visit too. They are growing up so fast and we are missing it. ;-(. Can't your parents move to Ontario?

Yea for your mom and dad coming to visit! I am so glad you got to spend time with them!

Have some wine for me!

TBG said...

Oh and I am so glad your parents are considering moving near you that would be fabulous!

What a great photo! I love the expression on your dad's face. He looks so happy. I'm glad they survived the flight :) And I'm up for dinner again whenever you're available!

I always thought Sophie looked just like your husband but now I see she looks an awful lot like Grandma. :)

I understand the whole husband traveling thing as a routine. For a while mine was gone every week Monday thru thursday. It became very normal and I didn't know what to with myself when he was home.

Great pic! I need a "business" trip too.

Carrie said...

What up with your template? Am I the only one that sees it all wacky?

Glad it was a good visit and woo-hoo that they are moving to Austin! Now they can keep the kiddos and you can come party with me! ;)

How about a business trip to Hawaii? I think you should attend the sisterhood conference!

Single motherhood sucks, no?
I love that picture! THey all look like they're having a blast.
It was good seeing you today, and meeting the Lummins in the flesh!

wordgirl said...

Sounds like a party. If I were there...I'd join you.

Kami said...

I'll go on that business trip with you. We can compare notes.

Awww... grandparents can really rock when they want to! Yay!

I'm jealous that your kids have great grandparents!

Good to know the bottle of wine isn't just something I do!
