Jam-packed fun times

We have had a busy but fun several days! First of all, Gracie and I took our very first trip alone together! We went up to Rogers Thursday and Friday to see my brother David and sister in law Elizabeth. It was a fun trip, seeing their new house, hanging out, and letting Gracie spend time with her aunt and uncle! I am mad at myself for not bringing my camera though!!!

Then Sunday Clay, Gracie, and I went down to Arkadelphia for a reunion. That was the weekend of the Flight 1420 Ouachita Singers reunion. Several of our college friends were in that group and were gathering for the weekend. We met them Sunday, along with our pastor and his wife and family from college who now live in Atlanta. It was such a sweet time with good friends. Here are a few pictures of Gracie and daddy at Crackerbarrel Sunday morning. Trying to keep Gracie occupied while we waited.


The hostess of our fabulous day...Amy. She and her hubby had us all over after we all attended our college church, Park Hill Baptist. It was so fun to see all those familiar faces! Brings back good memories...
James, Blake, and Clay

James and Kristin. They have 3 adorable kids! Wish I had gotten pics of them.

Blake and Gayla, and their sleepy Sarah! Blake is the pastor who married us, almost 7 years ago!

A close up of Sarah (though I caught her mid cry I think!). Sarah is their miracle baby, and it was so fun to see her and Gracie together!

Me and Melinda. We rode with Melinda to the airport and had fun catching up. Her poor hubby was at home with their 3 kiddos and some German students!

Sunday evening we made it in time to attend Brooke and Mike's going away party. We had a blast spending time in the Ramseys beautiful backyard. Gracie had fun playing on the steps. .....
....and loved the slide! I think we're going to get one for our backyard.
And here's the crew! It was so fun for us to all be together. The Ramsey's sweet neighbor took our pictures, and wasn't too familiar with all our new-fangled cameras. I think this one was one of the best shots!
We'll miss you Mike and Brooke! Keep in touch! Thank goodness for blogs and facebook!
