{A Week with Her}

I'm going back in time just a little for this post ...

Before Mother's Day rolled around, we were trying to think of a nice gift for David's

mom. We decided to give her a getaway to Arizona and time we could all spend

together. It seemed like it would be a nice way to celebrate her -- you know, being

in the same state for a change instead of just sending a gift. It took her about four

seconds to confirm dates and agree to the trip when we called with our idea. That's

when we knew we hit a home run. :)

So, out she came for a week of sunshine in the desert. We had a nice time. It was, as

always, great to see her. We mostly just hung out -- casual dinners, pool time, some

shopping (for houses). We also went out to Taliesin West -- the winter home, studio

and architecture school of Frank Lloyd Wright -- and enjoyed that a lot. I was glad

we finally got out there to take a tour. He was such an interesting personality, artist

and teacher.

Happy Mother's Day to our mom. :) Thanks for loving us and letting us love you!
