A Leisurely Day with Family

This past weekend, my brother, Kyle, was in town .... since he is a teacher and coach in Houston, he rarely has time free to come back up to Big D to visit. So, it was a treat to get to spend some time with him! One afternoon we all met up at my Dad and step-mom's house to cookout and hang out! Here is a glimpse at some of the fun....


Garrett found his "car" and it was a bit dusty and buggy - so he gave it a wash and loved it!

Garrett and Uncle Kyle

There are a few things, well, almost-obsessions, that Garrett adores: rocks and leaves. The boy will stop ANYWHERE to pick leaves or pick up a rock. He was thrilled that he could reach this tree from the top of his fort and pick leaves!!

And, of course, the little man was quite intrigued by Pop's grill....

All in all, it was a great time spent with family! My only complaint (and I'm noticing a pattern) is that we have very few whole group pictures or even pictures of Garrett with Mommy and Daddy. Hmm, something to work on!

Looks like such fun! I have enjoyed reading all the posts and getting caught up on y'all. I've been out of blogland for a period of weeks... but I think I'm back!

And, still no 171? I remember when ours came, there it was, stuck in between all the junk mail and bills, looking so average. I had been anticipating it so much I thought maybe when it came confetti would spray out of the mailbox or maybe a parade would come down the street...

Still praying!!!!!
