The Sellars family graciously gave us their home for the first part of our trip while they were at Family Camp. This was such a HUGE gift to our family. We had plenty of room for everyone (even Mom was able to stay with us) and Brody was able to enjoy a literal toy wonderland!
On Monday, we moved into Arlington to spend the night with the McCook Fambily. Oh, my gosh. I love this family. Tessa, as always, was an incredible hostess. I have to mention the incredible mini-burgers she served. Um. Delicious. Sophie and Landry were precious with Brody. I think he caught himself a little crush in miss Sophia! And why the heck wouldn't he? Look at this baby girl!!
During our first week in Texas we had so much fun seeing so many friends. We enjoyed a full & super fun day with the Mangrem's, a really fun morning with Julie and Landon, and a wonderful visit with our sweet Sue Sue. We also had enjoyed an awesome lunch date with Uncle Roland! Dinner dates with Whitney & Chad and Nooch & Stephanie. Listen, we were VERY busy and it was great! After a week in the Metroplex, we packed up and 
returned to Austin for a few days with Papa Joe. This was the first time Papa Joe had met with Mimi so it was a sweet time. We also got to celebrate Dad's birthday! We absolutely love Gus & Gal's property in Liberty Hill. It is the most rustic yet chic place imaginable. We felt like we were at a resort and on a farm at the same time! Their property line ends in the middle of the river in their back yard and this year there was water. 
We had so much fun. Gus & Gal [Great Aunt Al & Great Uncle Steve] returned on Thursday and we had the pleasure of hanging out with them and Dad that evening.
On Friday, Summer and Kids came all the way from San Antonio for a playdate in Austin!
It was so much fun to connect with Zoomie again and see her gorgeous babies. I can't believe we're all growed up with kids and stuff. So nuts!
This trip was so much fun. We all really enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. I love my friends so much. Being able to play with them was such a blast. I love that Kevin gets along with my friends so well. I love that my family is so gracious and wonderful. I love that so many of us has little ones who will be able to grow up together. Even tho we don't live down the street from each other our kids will always know each other and celebrate each other's successes in life.
Thank you to all of you for making time for us, room for us, and giving us so much love! I miss you all already!

ive missed reading your lives lately. every day i looked longingly (well, 90% of the days)
I miss getting the chance to visit with you and yours while in Texas!! While you were in Texas, I was in California! Yes, I was!!! Brooke's surgery was scheduled and Nick and I flew out to be with her. Nick left after 4 days and I stayed to help her out and got to spend 10 wonderful days with my " peanut princess". It sounds like your trip was great. Maybe one day, we will connect in either Texas or California!
I am so bummed I missed you, Vick! Our time in the Metorplex was very hurried. I would have loved to been able to spend the afternoon with you and Nicky. Hopefully next time! :)
