On Saturday morning Grant arrived at our apartment fresh off a red-eye flight from Vancouver!

We braved the dreary drizzle for an Odessa breakfast and a catch-up!

With a belly full of breakfast, the few Ambien Grant had taken on the plane were lingering and he still felt pretty altered. He decided to lay down to sleep it off. Maddy LOVES Grant and was so excited to have her favorite buddy back to nap with.
