A Tearful Goodbye

After five wonderful weeks, we had to say goodbye to Grammy and Papa. The girls absolutely adore my parents and I adore having them here. The help, extra one on one time with the girls, and stronger since of family during the holidays is a wonderful blessing for all of us.

It was a hard goodbye at the airport. Lila Grace thought she was going to go with Grammy and Papa to their house. She doesn't get that she can't just get on the plane with them or that there is a significant distance. Adeline was just plain mad that she drove the airport without getting on a plane. Savannah, well to no one's surprise, was a sobbing mess. It is very hard to stand back and watch your child hurt while knowing there is nothing that can be done about it. The distance is always going to be there and random drop-ins aren't an option. We all wish it was different.

Here are some pictures that sum up their stay:
