Time With Family

It's been fun to be part of birthday parties, Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations, as well as the little things like simply meeting up for dinner. Some of these photos are months old, but I wanted to get it documented on the ole blog. Sweet photo with her cousin, Eric.  

Lovin' the girl time with their older cousins, Bethany & Corrie.

I love all those beautiful faces!!

Lovin' on cousin, Michelle.

Withe Uncle Kerry 

Karis showing off her strength!  Ha!

We did a late Christmas with Jerry's family.  A fun gift from Nana, a straw in the shape of eyeglasses.  They crack me up!! 

 

We've spent a couple of weekends now at Ben & Jamie's (Jerry's sister), lovely home in Jacksonville.  The kids have loved playing with their sweet dogs, Gaby and Sophie.

Gaby is a bit of a blur there.  Ha!  And Sophie, on the left, never......and I mean NEVER tires of playing fetch.  It is the funniest thing!

The kids, Reegan especially, had a blast being around their dogs!!

   

Some nice aunt and uncle time!

They have a nice pond on their property.  The kids did quite a bit of fishing with dad and papa!!

Even caught a little something on our last visit!

Another weekend we drove down to Waco to meet up with Jerry's brother and his wife, Kenneth & De.

De and I each made scarves for the other for Christmas!  

Some great aunt and uncle time!

Brothers!  And Reegan photo bombing in the background!  Ha!

Sweet photo!

Some laughs with aunt Janet.

Love this! 

Love this one too!

We missed Michelle though.  I took this picture, coffee and kids in place to let her know we missed her.  You know that Carnival Triumph ship that's been stuck off the Yucatan peninsula?  Yeah, she's been stuck on it!  We're praying she gets home safely soon!  We missed saying goodbye to her!

It's been a wonderful six months of spending time with family.  We've said all our goodbyes to aunts, uncles and cousins and we will miss them greatly.

We still have both grandparents to go at the airport and that's going to be a difficult time.  It always is, but we know the plans the Lord has for us and He will see all of us through!
