Bitter Sweet

Today I said goodbye to these 3 sweet little faces.







I've been in Seattle the past 5 days helping my sister in law recover from surgery. It was great seeing family. Saying goodbye however was pretty bittersweet. I miss my own boys like crazy, but am so sad to leave my other family!

Missing these sweet faces...

We had a wonderful weekend. James, Bree, and their beautiful girls Avri, and Emery stayed with us for a few days on their way to Houston. Saturday we went out for some Texas Bar"b"que, Sunday we went to church and then spent some time downtown at the Alamo, and the Riverwalk, and Monday the kids played in the backyard before they had to leave. This was my first time meeting Emery and I couldn't believe what I've missed out on! She is the sweetest most smiley baby. She was a little hesitant with my at first, but by Monday we were pretty good friends :) Avri has grown up so much since I saw her last summer. She is such a beautiful girl and played so well with Devan. They really got along great. Chad is now fully convinced we need a little girl! I'm so excited to have family fairly close for the summer and am hoping Bree and I will be able to get together a few times while James and Chad are busy working!
