Here ya go...

Look below and you'll possibly see more photos than you want from our trip to Texas. I just got Josh interested in playing with noodles, Rachel down for a nap, and the dog outside to post these. Spare time doesn't seem to exist in his house.

Another week goes by

...and I still haven't posted the Texas photos. Yes, we are back and had a great trip! I'm working on the posts. there are just so many photos.

Last week was very busy with altered nap schedules, needy kids, laundry, and new activities. Therefore, I didn't have much time to upload photos or do much for myself. But, I figured the grandparents needed some new photos. So, here ya go. Enjoy!

Our Trip to Texas

Downtown Clifton, Tx. Not much there, but an important relative.

This month my Grandmother Hanes turned 90 years old. We all got toether to celebrate this wonderful occasion. Here we are on our way to Dallas. After that we rode a small commuter plane to Waco. Each flight we were blessed with an extra seat for Josh. This was a great relief considering we had only two adults seats and two kids under two! There were ups and downs to our flying adventures but overall they went very well.

The cargo that we didn't check.

Rachel passed out on Daddy where she spent most of her time.

Once we arrived we got dinner at an awesome Mexican restaurant.
