First of all......Yay, Kyle's home!! He got back to the US on May 22nd and we have been loving having him here! I wasn't sure how Annika would react (age of possible stranger fear) with him but she adapted to him being around right away. We think hearing his voice and seeing his face on skype every week was helpful. She loves having her daddy read her books, feed her, and to play together. I'm thrilled to have Kyle back and we're figuring out our new routines around the house.
A few days after Kyle came home, we packed up and went for a visit to Arizona for Memorial Day weekend. It was a special opportunity to introduce Annika to her great grandma Marcia. My mom, step-dad, brothers, and their families all traveled to the Phoenix area for the weekend. My uncle (mom's only brother), my aunt, and all my cousins and their families were also there. We couldn't remember the last time we were all in one place. It was a memorable weekend and I felt blessed to be surrounded with family!

Love being surrounded with family, even if Annika napped through the photo shoot.
