Hello, Goodbye...

...
What a busy weekend! This weekend was really fun because we had a nice long visit with my godson, Jude and Aunt Balissa. It is a bit sad that we often go soooo long without seeing each other. At least it takes such little time to catch right back up--- I guess to be expected when you live with someone for three years... a bit easy to fall in the groove of living together again. We can't believe how big our little guy is now!!!

Molly couldn't get enough of hands on time with Jude...

And Gabe, well it took a little while. He is definitely in this was fun territorial stage right now. So they initially played around each other. Our two teething boys just munching away on some matchbox cars.
I mean, seriously, how cute is this guy? Well, both guys :)

Jude weathered all sorts of fun. He visited Santa at the Mall, ate some chick-fila and even managed to hit up happy hour--- all in one day. Such the life of the party!

Aunt Balissa was in town for a FRG conference in Dallas. I am amazed at how many incredible programs they have in place to support the families of deployed soldiers. They have the really cute solider dolls for the children where you can put your soldier's picture in the face. Molly and Gabriel were so happy to have their very own uncle chris doll too!

Uncle Chris really lived it up all over Dallas...
The weather was a little disgusting but we still made some time for fun!
So fun to say hello to our favorite Army wives!!! We have missed you!!!

This weekend was also a time for us to say goodbye to a very special family that we just love so much! Our dear friends, the Bakers, are about to embark on a new life in Tennessee. While we couldn't be happier for their new adventures, for selfish reasons we do wish they were staying in Dallas just a while longer...

I guess we will just have to send really big hugs from Texas...
It is amazing to me to see what started as just two young married couples transform into two fantastic families. We love you Bakers and know that you will be such a gift to the youth in Tennessee.
Now who's up for a road trip?!
