Surprise!

Surprise! from Raleigh Gresham on Vimeo.

A few weeks ago we headed to Colorado to surprise Raleigh's dad for his birthday! I'm not sure if it was a complete surprise, but he at least acted surprised. 

 Heading out! 

 Ready to go through security in Atlanta! 

Watching for our plane! 

 Here we go! 

 Little Rhodes was ready too! 

 Luckily, he slept almost the entire flight! 

 We made it! Playtime! 

 Surprise! 

 Beau was very proud of his birthday cake play-doh creation! 

 Sweetest little grin! 

 Off to the zoo! 

 I could never get a great picture, but Palmer LOVED feeding the giraffes! (which he called puppies) 

 Beau was happy to stay in his stroller during the giraffe feeding activity! 

 The otters were another big hit! 

 Sweet Grey and Stacey reading a story! 

 "Date Night" to Chick fil A to see Raleigh's little brother who was managing that night. 

 Exploring the great outdoors! 

 Brothers! 

 Three brothers having a rock throwing contest.  

 Cousin love!

 Whee! 

 Snacks at the playground! 

Mmm! Ice cream! 

Palmer snuck into Mimi's Sunday school class for snack time! 

 Best family shot we got! 

 Back on the way home! 

 Evidence of a great trip.... two tired boys!

Happy {belated} Birthday Grandpa!

"My entire body yearns for my child, watch us in these early days how we curl into each other, how I protect her, nourish her, comfort her, even how I delight in her – you’re seeing a glimpse of something divine here, I believe. Isn’t this one of the great gifts God has given us? A glimpse into how God loves us, a share of the joy, a sign and a foretaste of the Kingdom among us already. God in his goodness, sharing with us what it means to love so selflessly, so unconditionally, so completely."
