Alex Drummond and Mauricio Scott just returned from the most gorgeous wedding weekend in the mountains of Colorado. And while the trip was full of friends, fresh air, and stunning views, getting back home to baby Sofia didn't go quite as smoothly as planned.
The couple spent a few days in Crested Butte celebrating the marriage of two of their closest friends. From the looks of Alex's Instagram posts, it was a beautiful time away—they enjoyed mountain hikes, delicious food, and the most special ceremony overlooking the peaks.
It was also a milestone of sorts, marking one of the first few times they've been away from Sofia for a full weekend. Luckily, she was in the best of hands! Ree was on grandma duty in Dallas, where she happily held down the fort with Sofia (and her furry brother, George).
By Sunday night, though, Alex and Mauricio were eager to get back to their little one. And, of course, that's when travel threw them a curveball. Their flight home was delayed, which meant they wouldn't make it in time for bedtime snuggles. Alex shared an Instagram Story once she was home (complete with Chipotle for comfort), writing that she'd just have to wait until the morning to see her "princess."
In the meantime, Sofia got some extra time with her abuela, Mauricio's mom, who stepped in so Ree could hit the road back to Pawhuska at a reasonable hour. Alex posted a sweet snapshot of the two together, noting how grateful she was for the backup care.
And while Alex was counting down the hours to get home, she stayed positive and kept her followers updated with a smiling photo of Sofia, saying she couldn't wait to smother her "lil croissants" with kisses.
Thankfully, the wait wasn't too long! By the next morning, Alex finally shared the update everyone was hoping for: "I'm reunited with my princess. It was so sweet waking her up this morning. She was so cute and smiley." After a whirlwind weekend away, the sweetest ending was being back home as a family again!
