Home Home on the Range




Sooo, I have an AMAZING husband. He lets me pack up the girls and go visit my family about once a month. We go down and stay with Marmie and Papa D, and get to catch up with family and friends in good ole Pasadena. This trip I got to celebrate my grandpas 91st birthday, and go to a shower of a dear friend of mine from junior high. We went out to eat for Grandpa's birthday. The girls.... were less then cooperative. It was just an off day! They cried at Grandma, and almost everyone for that matter, and they would not take their bottles. It was a little stressful! Luckily I had lots of family there to help me. They did look cute though in their polka dots. Kate had her polka dots on too :) After the party we all went out in the front yard on a blanket and just hung out. They were happy then, of course, we were outside... surprise, surprise. I love this picture of Mere and Kate! Mere is a great Mom, Kate is such a handful! So active. This day she was going from sitting down to standing up without pushing herself up... crazy kid! She is leaps and bounds ahead of the twins in this area. She is going to be walking very soon at this rate. I am just trying to get the girls to tolerate tummy time. Don't know what Mere and I would do without Amanda when I am home. I told her after I found out it was twins that there would be three babies... one for all of us :)
The shower for my sweet friend Shelley was really fun. Mom watched the girls so I could go. She is an amazing girl, and I am thankful that we have stayed in touch over the years.
It is always really refreshing to be at home. I know I have lived in Dallas for almost 10 years, but, Pasadena is still home. Everyone lives so close there and it is great to see Meemaw and Grandma every time I go home. Thank you Will for letting your girls go, and thank you to my family for the fun time we always have!
