On Thursday we said goodbye to Christopher’s mom after a wonderful week-and-a-half long visit. We had a great time together with lots of site-seeing, talking and “grandma-time”. Julian was, of course, thrilled to have a real-live grandma (as opposed to a Skype-grandma) to play with him and read to him.
The highlight of her time with us was probably the trip we made up to the Isle of Skye for two nights at a B&B. Not only was the six hour drive thoroughly enjoyable as we viewed the wild and varied scenery of the Scottish Highlands, but the Isle itself is breathtakingly beautiful. Here are a few shots of our time there–if only pictures could do it justice!

LOVE the pictures of Skye. What an amazing, beautiful, lonesome place it is. I’m so glad you were able to make the trip. Your kiddo is pretty cute too.
Love the pictures! Especially of your MIL with Julian, so cute, your tummy is cute too!
Thanks for the great pictures! Will we get to see pics of your new (larger!) place?! Miss you all.
Looks like you had good weather – I’m so glad. It’s the best place on earth…
You guys are good bloggers. Always something good to read. 19 months is a long time… wow.
