Michael & Lexi Travel Surprise

 My brother Anthony and his family had invited us to come to Georgia for the blessing of his second son, Parker. We were considering a car trip for the weekend so that we could be there for the event but then found that it would have to be a really quick turn-around after a long car ride. So we felt that at least Michael should go to represent our family and we bought him a direct flight. A few days before he flew out we decided it would be fun for Michael to take Lexi with him on this trip. She is under the age of two and so would be able to fly for a small fee. Michael called Anthony up and filled him in on the surprise of Lexi coming too. Anthony arranged for an extra car seat and picked them up at the Valdosta airport. When they arrived all were so happy to see them. I don't know who was more excited to see Lexi - Ethan because he now had a playmate for the weekend, Auntie Chelsea because she has two boys and loves her little girl time, or Grama D who got more cuddles that she'd been missing since traveling with us to Kenya last year...

 It was a joyous family occasion. I wish that Savannah and I could have gone as well but we are so grateful that Michael could participate and take lots of fun pics to share too.

 

This picture of my parents holding him is so precious. I can only imagine Parkers' expressions at the funny noises and faces that my Dad makes.

  Parker is such a cutie!  I love his cute little white suit that he wore for his blessing. And I love this picture of Chelsea with her little man too. Chelsea you look stunning as always and I love your proud and happy smile.

 Ethan and Lexi really had a great time playing together both inside and outside. Their favorite game was to chase each other.

Lexi loved playing with Parker too!

The fun expressions of Ethan. I just love this little guy!

It was a great trip for Michael and Lexi. They bonded and Lexi has become more of a daddy's girl since the trip. There's not much sweeter than a Daddy wrapped around his little girls finger! I know it can be a problem later but for now we enjoy their cute bond.
