Grand escape!

On the plane

Sorry for the delay since my last post.

Vivian has been doing so well that she and I flew to Jackson Hole to visit my parents for several days. On so many levels it was wonderful to get away! Vivian was perfect on the flights there and back. I didn't take a lot of pictures because our visit was very low key, but we had a wonderful time.

After Biba washed and dried her hair, Vivian commented, "Daddy will love my shiny hair"

So glad to see Vivian traveling and enjoying time with her grandparents. I bet this trip was Chicken Soup for the soul! Their home and the setting is gorgeous.
