Last week, Keaton and I went to Colorado to see my nephew, Zac. God knew when I booked my plane tickets a long time ago that I would need to be there at this time. Zac ended up returning to the hospital a couple days before I came. He was losing weight and they needed to figure out why. So, I went to the hospital a few times (only a few because it was a little ways away and Keaton needed morning naps...)
Here he is!!! Sooo tiny and beautiful!

I was so excited to finally hold him! I didn't want to put him down.
I got to stay and watch Elijah usually in the mornings so Bethany could go and be with Zac at the hospital (and so Keats could take his nap). This was real bonding time for us! :)
It was fun getting to know Lij more! We are buddies now. :)
Grandma thought it was special to read to both grandsons at the same time. Keaton and Lij loved it!
We took some "time out" to have a little girl time. Bethany took Grandma and I out to get pedicures. Thanks, Bethany! Our feet felt sooo soft and nice! :)
Keaton - close up. Don't remember taking this picture...
We went out to Lone Star to have dinner with my Aunt Jane and Uncle Fred. It was so good to see them again! Keaton and Elijah had fun playing with a toy egg that Jane got out from her purse. Thanks, Jane, for the entertainment during our longer wait to sit down!
Uncle Fred was making the boys smile when he would play peek-a-boo with them. They take to him really well! Bethany's husband, Jason, was able to meet us there, too. He was really busy that week, too, with staying overnight at the hospital and then getting up to work all day. What a good daddy and husband he is. Thank you, Jason!
Grandpa helped keep Keats happy while we were waiting (and he was really tired) by taking him outside to scope out all the trees and flowers and things. It helped a ton! And I think Grandpa really enjoyed it, too. :)

Sweet boy!
And a silly one!
Love you, Lij.I was so glad to be out there. My heart wishes I could've stayed longer to help more, but God knows that I needed to come back here to my family. Thanks, God, for allowing me to be able to go! What a blessing it was for me!
