I am late posting these pictures, sorry Shelly! :-)
There is nothing like getting together with family for a relaxing weekend. But as much as we try, sometimes is doesn't turn out that way....the girls get too excited or are "moody" and it can be chaos. However, this visit was REALLY nice. We celebrated my Dad's b-day. (Happy b-day, Daddy!), took a walk around the land, just hung out, and watched the girls play and play.

Maddie and Ally just LOVE their cousins. It is always a huge treat for them to be able to play with Jesse and Elin. Maddie even cried when they left and at that moment I could feel how much she loved them. It was precious. I am so thankful that they have a relationship with their cousins and grandparents. There is nothing like being surrounded by family. We are blessed beyond measure.

Even our sweet Aunt Billie joined us. The girls and I picked her up in Burleson and we all drove together down to Abilene. When I was talking with Maddie about Aunt Billie she asked, "Aunt Billie is a girl??" I said yes. Then after a moment she said "Aunt Billie, I like that name...its an old name!"





I am so happy that the girls have such a longing for family. They LOVE talking about their cousins and Aunts & Uncles and grandparents. They are thrilled to be surrounded by all the love they give. And it make my heart full to know they have this connection and will be blessed from all these amazing people for all their lives!
