Who are these 4 waiting patiently for? GRANNY! Deric's mom braved the long flight and came to see us in Dubai. It was so fun showing her around the sand and giving her a taste of where we have been living for the past year. We timed her trip so that she could fly back with me and the kids for the summer. I write this post from my mother's cozy living room where I have now been for a little over 10 days! Home Sweet Texas Home! Pictures below of Granny's Big Dubai Adventure!
