We're Back!!

We are back!! Had the best time seeing some friends in Austin and then making our way to Dallas to see Drew's family. It was relaxing and fun and the kids loved seeing everyone. One of my favorite things about Drew's family is the laid back feel their house exudes. We hang out, maybe watch TV, maybe play dominos or Connect Four, or we just chat. Love that. Judy and I always escape somewhere to do a little browsing in some stores. I dragged her with me to Macy's on Friday at 6:00 am. I did it last year on my own, and enjoyed it. So, I thought it was only fair she share in the fun!! ;) We got our Starbucks first, and then browsed. I love hanging with "granny". She cracks me up. Everytime Drew and I leave town we try and figure ways we can move closer to them. Grace is so totally attached to Judy. It is so sweet. And, at the same time breaks my heart when she crys every time we leave. This time she started crying 2 days before we left.....

So...another successful trip. Kids learned the fine art of Dominos, mommy got to stock up on all kinds of "gluten free" goodies from all the stores between Austin and Dallas, daddy got to figure out how to make it all fit in the car, trips to the park, basketball, movies on Thanksgiving day, cousin love, piano lessons from Poppa, baking pies with Grandma, Grandma forgetting to add sugar ;), and a Turkey Trot for mommy.

Connect Four fun with Uncle Matt

Grace's photo skills before the "trot". Although it looks as though I am scared of Drew's lips...I am actually telling her to take the picture!! Drew could care less, obviously. ;)

Winston playing with the girls - isn't he adorable!?!
