This Texas trip was very last minute. One of JD's best buds from way back recently lost his wife very unexpectedly. She left her husband, JD's age, and two preschool children behind. JD wanted to go out and spend some time with him. LilE and I found a great deal on tickets and headed out to spend time with family while JD was with his buddy. Hence the reason JD was in zero of the "fun" pictures and none of the "family" pictures either.
Saturday morning we (Emma and I) got up early to head up north. Emma and I had a little surprise up our sleeves. A couple of weeks back we received an invitation to my nephew's (JD's little sister's son) 2nd birthday party. We have not seen a Texas summer in 3 years, therefore, we did not make it out for the big O-N-E. When we found out that the party was the same weekend we were in town we worked it out to surprise them! She didn't even know we were in state! Yea!
Rudy and Me
The Birthday Boy
Cousins-Wish we could do more things like this!
Beep! Beep!
We stayed and played a bit with Nonnie and Duke. It was so good to see JD's family!! We had not seen them since Christmas. WAY TOO LONG! And we are looking forward to another visit this fall!
We headed back to Mimi and Pop's that afternoon to get ready to see Brother and Elle. LilE LOVES her some Brother! She cannot get enough of him. I love watching them play together.
Candy Land Bingo
Pop had to get in on some Memory.
Swing Time
Elle got to swing a bit too.
This is by far my favorite picture of my girl from our week away. Isn't she gorgeous?!?
We went back in to cool off and LilE told everyone what to do---color!
Thanks Mimi and Pop for letting us stay for a few days! We had a blast!
