Sue recently visited her family on the East coast. She started off her trip by visiting her daughter Amber and son-in-law Lucas, and of course, sweet little Ayla who was born in November of last year. They live in Virginia, not too far from Washington D.C. Sue had a great time visiting them and getting to know and to bond with little Ayla. She is growing so fast.
After a few short days in Virginia, it was off to New Jersey. Sue's daughter Tina and husband Felipe live in the suburbs of Newark with their two little girls, Raquel, and brand new Camila. Anytime there is a newborn involved that makes the trip just a littel extra special. It was a great time for "Nana" to get to meet Camila and have some fun with Raquel, who is growing up so fast. Sue's daughter Kari and grandkids, Brinly and Eli came to visit on the last day of Sue's visit too.
The final leg of Sue's trip before coming home was a trip to Florida to visit with her dad, brother Tom, and sister Lorrie, and of course their families. Sue had a great time getting caught up with the family, visitng, and just spending time together.
Needless to say, Sue had a wonderful time with her family but was pretty exhausted by the time she got home. While the grandkids are always so fun to be around, Sue really enjoyed her time with her girls. It's great to see how they are growing as individuals and as a family. They each have great husbands too. If any of the family has some photos of Sue's visit, please e-mail them to me so I can incude them on the blog.
Next family trip will probably be back to the Buffalo New York area when Sue's daughter Sherri has her baby girl in August.
Until then...happy blogging :)

I can't improve on what Ray said about my trip. It was wonderful and a great opportunity to see everyone. In that little trip, which did not include Buffalo, I saw 4 out of 5 daughters, 5 out of 7 grandchildren, both siblings and my father! I'll see Annie this weekend and Bronson & Eli in a few short weeks.
Whenever I think back on this trip I will get a mental image of Kari & I attempting to blow up an inflatable mattress from the cigarette lighter in her car and the creepy guy that kept walking past us in the parking lot...! Then our attempt to then push/pull it up several flights of stairs to Tina & Felipe's apartment was reminiscent of a Friends episode with a couch (or was it Seinfeld?)
haha.. it was friends with a sofa. I am so happy that you were able to come.
Now whenever Raquel eats food of small different sizes (like grapes) she picks out the "baby's"
She picks up the bracelets and hair things you gave her and says NANA NANA.
She also found my c shaped travel pillow in my closet yesterday and said NANA's!!!
we miss you!!
