SURPRISE!!

Larry and Bonnie flew in on Wednesday night to surprise Shawn for the weekend. The surprise did not quite go as planned. Their flight was supposed to get in at about 5 p.m. on Wednesday, which was going to be just in time for me to pick them up and have them at the house when Shawn got home from practice. As I was sitting at baggage claim, Larry called to say that they had been rerouted and were sitting on the plane at the Austin airport because of the storm that was moving through Houston! He was able to call back between 9:30 and 10 to give an update and talked to Shawn then to tell him they were on their way. He was still very surprised! We were finally able to pick them up at 11-they were never allowed to get off the plane from the time they boarded in Albuquerque until they landed in Houston! Gotta love flying! They were able to see Shawn's freshmen play on Thursday night...they tied 6-6 and then on Friday we cheered on the varsity...unfortunately all our cheering did not seem to help-Coldspring beat us 42-0(ouch!!!). We were able to get in a lot of shopping too-baby shopping is so much fun!!! Thanks to this set of grandparents Baby Brooks will be allowed to come home from the hospital, go for a walk, and have a place to sleep close to mom and dad! Thanks for the travel system and pack-n-play!!!
Shawn still managed to smile after a rough loss!

I can't wait to use all of this!!!
