Friends visit

We make it to Dallas quite often. 

If not once per month, then every 6 weeks.

Two of our siblings live there and i still have some of my best friends there.

So, we have plenty of reasons to visit. 

for a little change, 

My sweet friends came to visit us in May!

We absolutely loved having them and letting them have a bit of country living for the weekend. 

including crawfish and gator rides.

Buzz and Judson are BFF.

she was such a trooper at saying "yes" to every single sword fight or baseball game Judson asked her to play. love her.

Rachel and James brought their pup, Coach.

this picture is not to scale. that is one large dog. 

but super sweet and lovable. and has no awareness of his size, ha!

worn slap out from all of the fun

sweet Ruby! (and Rach, of course!)

we adore that sweet baby Ruby

she is always happy and so fun to be with. just like her parents!

i was not the only one who fell for Ruby

14 years i've been knowing these people.

well, 8 for Rachel.

but still! a long time!

and i'm forever grateful for our friendship.

and i'm thankful for their love for my kids and the effort that they all make to keep our friendship going.

we just get each other and can chat about all the things and laugh for days on days.

what a gift!

now, y'all come back now, ya hear!
