Operation Houston

Back in January I found out that I was going to travel to New Orleans for a work conference in May.  Shortly after this news, Rich and Lisa announced that they were leaving Hawaii and moving to Texas.  I asked Rich what he thought about me stopping in Houston on the way out to surprise Lisa and he was up for it. The plan only escalated from there...

Once I found out the dates of the conference, I realized it would be my Moms birthday/Mothers Day weekend so I informed my dad about my plan and his wheels started turning.  Next thing I knew, he had purchased tickets for him and my mom to fly to Houston to join in on the surprise.  He told my mom they were going to Phoenix to visit his mom for mothers day weekend... she was surprised to say the least when they landed in Phoenix and then had to catch a connecting flight to TX!

Rich picked me up from the airport first where I surprised my mom and then we headed back to the Ducote's house to surprise Lis.  We had a great weekend touring Houston and hanging out with J!  So glad it all worked out and we were able to be together!

Crazy that we'll have a little one next time I see everyone...

First grandson.  My parents are SOOOO good with J!  Makes me excited to see them with Baby Dora. 

I heart him. 

Splash time!!
