Texas Trip

Whew...I'm glad to be home! Mom and I left for Texas Friday morning with the kids. It was a long day in the truck, but we made it. Baby Hunter is just the cutest - I forgot what an 8 lb. baby is like...I felt like I was going to break him. Although I didn't get to hold him that much. Courtney does NOT put him down and does not let many people hold him. I tried to convince her that she might be creating a monster, but I'll let her learn that lesson on her own! Ethan and Nina both loved him and were really gentle and sweet around him. Well, Ethan was Ethan several times, but other than that he was really sweet around Hunter. We enjoyed seeing Landon's family and worshiping with them on Sunday. Landon led singing Sunday night and sang 2 songs that Ethan requested and Ethan thought that was just great! We also saw their new church building that is almost finished and it is beautiful! After a trip on the road with hurricane evacuees, we're finally back home! I'm so glad to be home and don't want to go anywhere for a long, long time - or next week, whichever comes first! I took my bouncy seat for Hunter, but Nina occupied it most of the weekend. She thought it was so much fun to crawl in and out.

So sweet!!!
Usually when trying to get pictures of the kids, Ethan is the one that is difficult....today it was Miss Nina!!!

Once again trying for a picture with all 3 kids...and once again rooster Nina in rare form!
Our wonderful dentist, Dr. Vassey, is retiring this year and his staff has asked us for a family picture for him - look over Courtney's head....we tried to get Daddy in there too! Dr. Vassey has been our dentist for over 20 years and he's so special to us - he and his staff were at the funeral home and Daddy's funeral. We are going to miss him, but will continue to go to his practice!
So, my child refuses to eat Jello. Will not under any circumstances eat Jello...that is, until Aunt Courtney fixes it for him! Then he loves it! Thanks, Aunt Courtney, for making Ethan love Jello!! We love you!!
