Old and New Friends and our "Vacation"

We had the privilege this weekend of seeing an old friend and meeting two new friends. Benison has been a friend since college. We went to Park Hill Baptist in Arkadelphia together and he was even an usher in our wedding. We finally got to meet Benison's beautiful wife Lum (I hope I spelled it right) and their cute-as-can-be little boy. His name is pronounced ti-ah-wah, and I'm so sorry I don't know how to spell it. Ben, we have got to say.....you married up! :) Benison and Lum are both from Cameroon, Africa. Ben is currently in law school in Indiana and Lum is getting her MBA. We'd sure love for them to move to LR one day.....fingers crossed! Little T was on the go and was crawling, pulling up, standing and having a good time! In the short time we got to visit, I could see Lum is such a natural with kiddos!

Man, he is so cute! And definitely a man on a mission.

This weekend we are on "vacation." We had plans away, but ended up having to stay home. But it has been a wonderful weekend anyway. We spent the afternoon at Pinnacle Mountain. Of course, Gracie loved being outside.

By one of the big cypress trees on the trail at Pinnacle. One more day left in our "vacation." Looking forward to more relaxation, reading, and family time.
