Our Trip to Texas - Kathryn's Birthday Party

While we were in Texas, we were invited to a tea party to celebrate sweet Kathryn's 5th birthday.  We went over early to spend some extra time with them and to help get ready for the party.

A Fun Visit!

We had a wonderful visit last month with these 4 precious children and their parents!

The Gallaghers and Livy joined us for a cookout one evening.

It's fun to have so many little ones around!!

Hungry little munchkins waiting patiently for their supper!

I think she was getting tired of waiting! :)

Marshmallow time!

"Yummy!"

Such a sweet baby!

When it got too dark outside, the fun moved inside!

Emma gives a concert!

"Peek-a-boo!"

James, Jordan, and Melissa played music together...

...while the children listened.

One week later our friends stopped by again on their way home from vacation.  This time the grandparents were with them!  We had such a fun time with them!

Enjoying ice cream!

Jordan and James entertained the children (and adults!) with a story. 

It WAS very funny!

We love you, baby William!
