Mom has itchy feet and has been caught in the throes of wanderlust. In January, she, Dad and Jessica had gone to Cabo San Lucas. A few days later, she was packing again to fly to Michigan to see Lauren and the family.
It's a lot easier for her to get around than to have Lauren, Dave and Cayden shlepp through an airport with all that baby paraphernalia.

Your dad did a GREAT job on your portraits! You boyz are very lucky to have such a talented artist living right in your home. We hope Mom will be home soon. Maybe you should suggest that everyone in Michigan move to California so they would be close enough to visit without having to be gone so long.
The portraits are awesome!
The portraits are beautiful! Your dad did a great job! I hope they are hung in a prominent place in the living room.
