Just leaving Connecticut. It is definitely not easy to leave!

A visit to Connecticut
Hen and I had the opportunity to go to Connecticut to spend some much needed time with Grandpa. We had some very tender moments and mercies on this trip. We had the opportunity to do a session at the Hartford temple one night and went to see Grandpa after. It was a beautiful session and it was around 9pm when we went to visit Grandpa. We were sitting and chatting and out of no where he turns to me and asks me if I had a nail file in my purse. It was so random and so specific it really made us chuckle. That night I was also inspired to work on some of Henry's family's genealogy, maybe it was from going to the temple. But I was able to connect a bunch of names and lines and I didn't fall asleep until after 3am. I even stumbled upon a marriage certificate from Grandma 4's parents. Oh the rabbit hole genealogy becomes.
Grandpy snoozing on his first day back home.
The day we arrived in Connecticut, Hen suprised me with a limo to get us to Grandpa's house. It was nice after traveling such a far distance.
The day we arrived in Connecticut this owl was in the backyard at Grandpa's house, likely foreshadowing what was to come. The owl stayed there watching over the house for a few days while Grandpa was at the rehad facility. He/she was sure beautiful. It was hard to be in the house without Grandma or Grandpa there. Luckily Grandpa was able to come home the Saturday before we left, so we were able to spend some time with him there. And I was able to fix his fingernail before we left.
Side note, if you ever wondered what it is like traveling with this guy, this picture pretty much sums it up.... and I probably wouldn't have it any other way....

It’s funny to note that my mom got him that toy last Christmas and he put it there before I took the picture.

Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico
February 8-15
This was quite the trip! We used a certificate from our membership with Holland America and only had to pay taxes for the week at the Grand Mayan Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta Resort. This place was so huge it was like a mini city, complete with lazy river, 10 pools, great beach, great food, and it's own grocery store. The resort had beautiful vegetation all over. We had a great room complete with it's own plunge pool on the balcony and complete kitchen. But with all things in life, when things are too good to be true they usually are. After not even being there 24 hours, we were conned into a breakfast that turned into a 6 hour sales presentation with the most aggressive salesmen I have ever met. It was so awful. We almost cut our trip short and came home, but decided to stick it out. The rest of the week was great until the end. Great weather, pool days, beach days, fishing, great food. It was all great until the last day of our trip, poor Henry got extremely ill and dehydrated, to the point that as soon as we were back in the states we rushed him straight to the ER where he received 4 bags of IV to get his fluids back to a healthy level. I'm happy to report he is doing well and back to his old self again. But it is best to try to remember the good times, as it was nice to get away from the cold and the moving boxes and the stress of work and life. We are grateful we were able to go and spend some good time together.
Pool Day!
A night out!
Beach day!

Fishing day! We chartered a boat for just the two of us
and these were the first 2 fish we caught that morning! Then caught atleast 10
more fish. We saw humpback whales and dolphins too! We had a great time on the
water!

Pups in the new house
Getting adjusted...
Charlie seems to be unphased. This has definitely been harder on Lily poor
thing. She keeps going to the garage door like she is saying can we go home
now? So sad. She hasn’t been able to figure out the new door dog either. on top
of having a bad tummy ache. Pray tomorrow is a better day for her.
