How amazing was this visit! I can't believe we were able to meet up and see each other on Dad's birthday! It was so great to meet up and catch up! Brings back great memories of our lunches in Texas!

It feels like just a few weeks ago you where up here exploring the city and seeing where I work! I had such a great time showing you around! We got to do so much with even your rents here too. Such a special time, need ya to move up here ASAP! 

Oh, what a time it has been!! What a crazy move it was, Alex Karshisl, all the way from the south to the northern parts of the USA. It's now a long drive to meet up. I miss you every day, and the phone calls help a ton. Still, it still doesn't replace the midway meet-ups for a nice lunch!!!

A great recharge, a delicious meal, and quality time. I loved going and meeting up at the lunch spots over the years! One of the things I miss the most. I was so nice to just go and chill with my rents. Thanks so much for being an amazing mor! Happy Birthday ♥️

Looks to be the first day of school here! Oh, how time flies! Funny to see us matching haha. for sure fashion icons 

Hahahaha, remember when I did this, thought it looked so natural too! 

You always make these times of the year so special! From the way you get the house together to how you thought everything you do is. Such a great mom and person! You definitely gave me a strong base of what's good and looks nice. So thanks for raising me right! 

We got to travel so much! Seeing most of the world before I knew how special it was. I'm so thankful for being able to spend such a great time with you! Here we are on a plane about to take off to another adventure. Wonder where we will go next?!? I think it might be Alaska next, going back to where it all started! 

I'm not 100% sure the context of us dancing around while I have a lanyard on. We are in Hawaii for sure, but not sure where at. Always a fun and good time! 

I'm sure we must have gotten this from Morfar, but we always have a hot and a hollar when it comes to getting our guests at the airports. Always a good laugh!!! 

Hard to tell, that's a baby Umbra without any white yet! You both have aged so gracefully over the years! You have definitely been taking care of your health, today is not one of those days, says, as you eat these cookies and Ice cream lol, enjoy! I miss being able to be sick on that couch and have a mor take care of me. Still need days like that! 

Oh how they love to be together! I know Umbra is missing playing with amber and vis vera. When we are all together, we have such good times! Soon will be together again, no more water works for now. Haha, had to write some of these in parts cause I would start to tear up at all the beautiful and amazing times we have had. I really miss being so close. I need, need you guys to move up here. 

let me be known to the east to the west, north to the south. We got the best mor around!!! Even Umbra knows! 

Not just one degree but two! Not to mention all the ones Dad has under his belt. You help support him to get! Thanks for being such a great support system and always being there when one of us Is In need! 

Making new memories as we try to relive old ones. What a good laugh to come 'back' to this place. Thanks for being an amazing mor and keeping a smile on everyone's face. 

Look at these three blind mice, we are enjoying this windy city! From amazing crab cakes to trees bigger than any other. What an amazing trip! 

What a fun camera effect! If I remember correctly, this Is In San Marcos next to the water where we saw a ton of families swinging around. It was another amazing mid-way lunch that we had. We have all lost a little weight since then! 

Thanks for making life so amazing! You are truly a great mor! Can't thank you enough, so enjoy the cookies and Ice cream, you have earned it!!!
