Last weekend some of us took a quick trip to Texas for Samuel Schatte and Esther Hale's wedding.
Crossing the state line
We stayed with Mr. and Mrs. Beeman, and really enjoyed the time we spent visiting with them! (But we didn't get any pictures there.) :(
The first evening we were in TX, we and Mrs. Beeman went over to visit the younger Beemans. We had fun with these sweet kiddos and their mama (their daddy was still at work).
