A Big Weekend!
Whew! We are home and we had a BIG weekend! The kids and I left on Friday and headed for Lubbock for Kelly Murphy's wedding. We stopped along the way to pick up Mom and Sandra. I could not have made a trip across Texas without them! We met Ali, Rita, Betsy and Stan at our hotel and settled in for a weekend of visiting. Anna Kate and Max got to spend the weekend with Papa and Granna!! They had such a blast. They got celebrity treatment...going to the Fair, going to Mr. Gatti's, turning Papa's office into their playroom. They are still talking about it.
Kelly's wedding was on Saturday evening at Spirit Ranch in Lubbock. It was outside and the weather was perfect. It was beautiful. She worked SO hard planning it all. It all paid off. It was wonderful.
On Sunday we went to church with Papa and Granna at Bacon Heights. It was like Old Home Week. I got to see so many sweet friends. Randy and Sarah (Lowery) Cook go there. We got to catch up a little, but not near enough. Miss that girl. We also got to see Cori Crumrine, Jessica King and Amanda Baker. They all looked so good. So collegiate! I could have visited with them all afternoon. It was so good to see them. I also saw Kristen Lewis and got to meet her little man, Carter, who is precious. The fun part is that all of these friends know each other and go to church together each week. What a cool thing. After church we got to visit Gram. It was so fun to introduce her to her newest great grandson. All of these big events and I didn't have my camera. Argh.
From Lubbock, it was on to Olton to Momma Gayle's house. It is always such a treat to be at Momma Gayle's house. We visited with our fun family. Jon Bryan had his dog, Tucker, with him and the kids LOVED playing with him. Anna Kate got to see "that girl" at long last. That girl is my cousin, Leanne, who Anna Kate met at Sunfish. She has been asking for months to see "that girl". The cotton was beautiful and Daddy V picked some for Max and Anna Kate to see. From the square all the way to the open bowl. We'll have a cotton lesson at school very soon. On Monday morning we woke up to "sticky buns" for breakfast. They were amazing. As we packed and got ready to leave Momma Gayle's house, Max crumbled in my lap and just cried. We all wanted to. It was so fun to be there.

He's growing too fast! Please restrain him from any further growth until I can see him as a newborn. :)
Serious question, how long do you technically refer to a baby as a newborn?
