The end of February and beginning of March was exciting in the Foster home. Christina and her sons, Matthew and Zachary, came to visit us from New York. Christina is Jacoby's birth mother and this trip had been planned a while. It was so good to see her and I am glad she got to see Jacoby for ten days. He had no problem going right to her, especially because she had a cell phone. Jacoby LOVES cell phones and anything electronic. I am amazed at how long my iphone or ipad will hold our little one's attention. He can open and close apps and even talks to Siri. Because Siri can't understand what he meant, she'll "search the web" for that topic she thought he said and that is how he gets the phone unlocked. Smart bugger.
Anyway, while Christina and her boys were here, we hung out at the house the first few days while Cameron while was gone. I took them to City of the Rocks and it was muddy on the roads and snowy on the rocks but still very beautiful and unique. Once Cameron got home, we took them to Jackson, WY to see the Elk refuge and then to Cameron's family's cabin in Island Park. We went to Yellowstone one of the days and took a tour in a snow coach. They have never been out west before and were particularly excited to see Yellowstone. It was beautiful and peaceful--it was the end of the winter season and hardly anyone was there. To get into Yellowstone in the winter, you have to go on a guided snowmobile tour or snow coach tour. We saw lots of animals and had a great time.
I am so grateful for our open adoption with her and I am glad I have these memories and pictures to share with Jacoby when he is older.
Cameron bought Jacoby the cutest winter boots but they would not stay on his feet. So... we used gloves.

We pulled over to take picutes on the Pass getting to Jackson. We had to take a trailer since we had every seat in our Yukon filled.

Matthew and Zachary got to go to Cal Ranch with Cameron and found some fun stuff.

Jacoby and I had a little nap in the snow coach. Again, I am glad we were able to stretch out. It was a nine hour day in that thing.
We love the backpack we bought for Jacoby. I love that he's wearing gloves on his feet
