We're back after a 4 day weekend from the land of Grandparents and Giant Cacti. We stayed with GranJanne where Addie slept 4 blissful (for us) nights in her own room, skinny dipped in Sabino creek (Addie not us) and fed a giraffe and some ducks. 
Pop Pop, Nana and Uncle Drew also swooped into town to snatch some Addie time visiting the Desert Museum, digging for fossils, seeing a ball game and chowing down on avocado enchiladas and soft serve ice cream. When she wasn't off on adventures, Addie could be found drawing with crayons or markers just about anyplace she could spare 5 minutes.
I just can't believe that I haven't seen this crew of family since this time last year. That's just not right! Sniff Sniff! Addie was sometimes confused. After we'd leave dinner, she'd ask where are friends were going. Oh, my lil pepita, they are your family! You'll want to make this distinction later when you need to hit them up for cash.
I already miss the smell of that desert air. Good thing Cap and I are sneaking off to Palm Springs this weekend to celebrate our 5 year anniversary (a month early) and watch a sickening amount of tennis.
Check out more pictures of our adventure in Tucson here.

After returning home to a flooded basement, the Desert seemed even better. We loved our Addie time (she's a real charmer) and share a tinge of sadness that she doesn't connect to us strangers. Once a year doesn't cut it for any of us!! Loved all the pictures, we can't get enough of Tucson!
The photos are great! I love the sandy bum, and the Baby Bird Nerd. Sadly, too soon for the ocatillo to bloom; I will forever associate that plant and flaming blossom with your wedding.
Always too far apart. It is so sad. But the times together are treasured, and as Addie gets older, it will be easier to remember and sort out those deep ties of love.
Addie's Buster Brown haircut is great!
