Phoenix

Collin looks enormous compared to Bella...he wanted to grab her.

We took a lovely trip to Phoenix this past weekend to meet our new niece & cousin, Isabella Kayleigh Montes. We were all pleasantly surprised at how well the kids traveled. Our only trouble was at security...Lanie was pretty darn mad that she had to take off her tiger boots and give up her blankey for a couple of minutes. Thankfully, the security folks were super understanding and helpful. Lanie loved all the new and different toys and Collin cruised around the house all weekend in a walker. They slept well every night! Sal was his normal charming self....he says some really funny stuff and Isabella was a perfect angel. I absolutely loved the beautiful weather! You can't beat t-shirt and jeans weather...it was awesome! Another bonus...Ray taught Becky and I how to make his Pico De Gallo, so delicious!
