Flying High

How can one month go by so quickly?! Kieva and I are headed home and in some ways it feels like we just left.

We jetted off to Illinois and were thankful to spend a lot of time with Great grandma Hernandez. She is as beautiful as ever and at 83 is feistier then i've ever seen her.

It was great to be surrounded by the exuberant, opinionated, beautiful and hilarious Hernandez clan. I felt so oddly

normal around them. 

These are just a few of the beauty's from our time there

Kieva went frog hunting, freaked out every time he saw rabbits hopping around and squirrels! He went fishing and even saw old friends.

Then off to North Carolina

Chatting with uncle Jason 

Receiving birthday cake # 2

Fishing with Daddy
We were blessed to see Bryan's mom and all of that side of the family.

Kieva saw his other great grandma as well. She makes 88 look great!

We saw Bryan's dad and that side of the family. And we were reunited with our friends

There were birthday parties for Kieva, scooter rides, beach days ,pool parties and the list goes on and on. 

Thank you to everyone who blessed us on this trip and blessed us for the trip. 2 years was too long to be away from our loved ones!! 
We have been blessed beyond belief by our family and friends in Illinois, and in North Carolina.

We have a new season ahead .. Kieva in third grade, trip to Germany to teach, and perhaps a few other new happenings .. Will keep you posted!
