Visiting East Texas!

My Dad's birthday was Saturday and Sheila's was earlier in the week, so this past weekend we loaded up and took Madelyn on her first road trip to go celebrate Sir & Granna's birthdays!
All things considered, she handled the long car ride pretty well.

We got a nice visit in with them and Uncle Lou who also made the trip for the weekend. Plus, Nanny, Aunt Karen, & Uncle Charlie came to visit on Saturday. We had a great time. Dad smoked chicken and ribs on the grill and they were very tasty! Of course Nanny brought not one, but three desserts, and they were all so yummy.

Sunday on our way home we made a detour and went to see Shelby & Jake's new home in Tyler. It is beautiful and in such a wonderful neighborhood. I think they will be very happy there, although we miss having them so close by.
