We were thrilled when Jared bought tickets for Mario and Milo to fly to Albuquerque for a two-week visit with us! I wanted to make sure they got to spend time with all of our ABQ family including Jess and Jacob's families and my mother. I also wanted them to meet Jacquie and her boys, but she was so busy. Next time we will schedule some pickleball and lunch visits with all of them!
