At the beginning of January, Connor and I went to Texas for a month long visit. Aaron had training in Germany, so just the two of us went. Getting to Texas made for an extremely long day for us: a 3 hour drive to the airport in Milan, 2 hour wait at the airport, 10 1/2 hour flight to Miami, a 4 hour layover, an almost 3 hour flight to DFW, and 1 1/2 hours at the airport waiting for a lost piece of luggage}. We were so tired when we finally got home that night!
While we were in DFW, we split our time between my Pappy's house {my father-in-law} and Chrissy's house {my sister-in-law}. I wanted to make sure everyone had their own time with Connor. While we were at Chrissy's, Mimi stayed over a couple times. We celebrated a late Christmas with her and had so much fun!
Uncle Ryan bought so many donuts for us!
Connor loved Monty and Riley.
Mimi seeing Connor for the first time in over a year.
We broke one of Connor's new toys, so we had to put it back in the box. Ryan caught us...
Mimi found a special book for Connor!
The Star Wars slippers were a hit!
Acting silly, as usual.
Cuddles with my boy.
They had a fun ice cream date.
Mimi wore him out!
Goodbyes are hard, but everyone put on a smile.
I didn't take very many pictures while we were at Pappy's, but we had a great time. While I stayed there I got 2 pedicures, Connor went to a fun indoor play gym, we went shopping, and had a couple barbecues. We even got to see Connor's great grandparents from Minnesota.

Speaking of Olson's, I sent Aaron a picture of Connor laying on the floor watching a movie on his ipad and he sent me a picture of him in the same position. Even an ocean away, they are the exact same person.
This was too funny not to share. He thought it was so funny to pick his nose and take a picture.
While in DFW, I was able to see a few of my friends. The first week I spent there, I saw our friends Blair, Chris, and Ellie. Connor and Ellie are only 10 weeks apart. The last time they saw each other they didn't get a long very well. This time was much better!
On one of my last nights in DFW, I got to see a couple of my good friends from nursing school. Uncle Ryan watched Connor so Chrissy and I could make it a girls night. We had a great time catching up! It always amazes me how we can go so long without seeing each other, but when we do we catch up right where we left off.
Until next time DFW!
