Sweet tea, lawn chairs, and barbeque for dinner..

Yep, we're in Texas! As we sat outside yesterday evening, a circle of friends and family, drinking sweet tea (look at Amelia clutching the cup with remnants of watery sweet tea!) and chatting as the sun slowly went down, it felt good and right.
The trip down went great, Sam and Amelia were both little troopers. I won't forget Sam with his little face glued to the airplane window as we taxied down the runway, watching plane after plane take off or Amelia falling asleep in her grandma's arms soon after take off , her little hand still holding onto the beloved box of animal crackers. Minus a few Sammy meltdowns, it was really a perfect trip and we were so thankful!

Our time at Bub and Robin's has been so....comfortable. I know that sounds funny, but saying "great" or "fun" just doesn't describe it. Being surrounded by our family is comforting, like snuggling up in a great big blanket. Favorite activities so far have been looking at all the "buggies!", riding in the wagon, sitting in the fire truck, running around the big back yard and playing with their uncle Bub and Dude, the dog:) We do miss Joelie so much and can't wait for him to join us. Hope you all are doing well! Jen
