Our family of 4 flew to Charlotte, North Carolina (and went on to Taylorsville, NC) to visit Ben's Aunt Paula who is nearing the end of her fight with Cancer. Not a happy trip, but we made happy memories.
You should see the look on people's faces when you board an airplane with two infants. It's a mixture of admiring their cuteness to the realization that we might be sitting near them.
I plucked this idea from Pinterest and it worked like a charm:
How did it go, you ask?
Believe it or not they did AWESOME.
4 flights and ZERO meltdowns...some temporary fussiness, but they held it together!
We had a really nice visit and the twins received lots and lots of snuggles, kisses and playtime. Aunt Paula loved on the babies and it was really special to see the joy the three of them had together.
My cousin, Jason and his fiancee Kelsey happened to live 2 hours away. They made the trip to come and spend a day with all of us as well. Here again, another blessing for all of us. I will always be grateful to Aunt Paula and Miss Ava for the gift of last weekend.
We got home last night. I received a call just a little bit ago that they were taking Aunt Paula to the hospital. She is taking a turn for the worst. I asked to speak with her on speaker phone and told her how honored we are to be part of her family. I told her how much we all loved her and if she is allowed to, to please come visit us from time to time. She liked that I think. I also told her that we'd be praying for her and she asked that if we do to please pray she is released quickly. She also said that she is ready to go.
*sigh*
