Grace Comes Home



Hello Monday!  We had a fun weekend with everyone at home for the first time in over three weeks!  Here's a look at what was going on...



We headed to the airport Saturday morning to pick Grace up!  I was so relieved that Tropical Storm Barry stayed east of us, and didn't delay or disrupt the flight!  Michael parked while Jack and I went to help with baggage.

Grace flew by herself for the first time and didn't have any problems!  I was a little nervous for her, but she didn't seem to mind being an "adult" at all.  In fact, she walked right past Jack and I waving at her from behind the glass in the waiting area and walked straight down to baggage!  We caught up with her there and I was soooooo happy to get her back home.

We did what any Texan does upon returning home, and stopped at Whataburger for lunch.  Grace had an overall good experience with her two weeks at Emory University studying global health.  I'll write more about that later this week.

After some resting time on Saturday, we went out to eat with family.  I snapped a few pics because I was so glad to have everyone together!


Boomer continues to be the star guest around the house.  He loves to hang out with the kids, and has been sleeping with Jack.  Poor Albie tore his toenail/claw while running around the backyard.  It bled like crazy, and I hope it looks better today.







On Sunday, we went to church and then to see the musical Aladdin.  It was so good!  The Genie was the star of the show, and the whole cast was really entertaining.  I'm glad we were able to reschedule this show so that everyone was able to go.  It was tricky with the summer schedules, and I think this was the last showing in Houston.  I bought extra tickets for this one so that all four of us could attend.  It was a fun family night.


On the agenda this week...just enjoying having everyone at home with lots of work and volunteering for the kids.  Have a wonderful week!

    Isnt it both exciting & heart breaking to see your kids grow up to do things on their own - like being REAL adults :)
    Oh man, those toenails bleed FOREVER on dogs. Always scary.
    Have a great Monday!

    I know you are so glad to have your girl home! What an exciting future that smart Grace girl has in store. We always stop first for mexican food as soon as we hit the ground but Whataburger is not far behind haha.

    Glad Grace made it home! Gabbie is coming home this week and she's flying alone as well. She also flew alone on the way there!

    Oh my goodness, Grace is so grown up! I can't believe she flew by herself! I've never even flown by myself before. Haha. I'm glad the weather cooperated. We had our eye on Hurricane Barry for a while, too. We got a few of the very outer bands of rain, but that was it!

    We thoroughly enjoyed (twice) the movie Aladdin so I know we would love the musical. Looking forward to taking my grands to see the new Frozen late this fall.

    Glad Barry missed you guys. Goodness, you have had more than your share of tropical storms and hurricanes. Bless your heart.

    Your pups are so precious. I had a big lab-mix who was a gentle giant. I miss Cheyenne so much. Our kitties are darling but there's nothing like a dog.

    There is nothing better than having your kiddo home, unless it's having both of them home. LOL
    That Boomer is one HUGE dog. Are his parents Sooner fans? Our nephews dog is named Boomer and he's a Sooner fan for sure.
