welcome to west Texas ...

Lubbock, that is! We took a long weekend trip to Lubbock to see some family members and friends that we haven't seen since before Kendall was born! Kendall was a perfect traveler ... sleeping nearly the entire way to Lubbock ... we couldn't believe it!

We stayed with Ashley's Aunt Judie and Uncle Mike ... they were such gracious hosts, as usual! Aunt Judie is a Nana to 13 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren, so her house is set up for accommodating kids! She had practically everything we needed for Kendall already set up for us when we arrived! And we really enjoyed visiting with them and seeing them with Kendall ... Aunt Judie has been so special to us on this journey with Kendall ... praying for us and Kendall, and emailing us with encouragement & prayers.

We met Russell & Alison, Grant and new baby Colt McGuire for lunch ... it was really great getting to catch up with them ... it had been a couple of years since we had seen them, even though we talk and email ... and we had not met Colt yet, or introduce Kendall to them.

Aunt Judie and I enjoyed a little shopping and then picked up MaMaw (Ashley's grandmother) for a homemade dinner ... we got to introduce Kendall to her great-grandmother and they hit it off.

Kendall tellin' MaMaw "all about it" ... she is quite a little talker already ... she may look exactly like her daddy but she does have some of her mommy inside there somewhere ... ha!

On Sunday, we headed to Abilene to spend the night at my parents' house. We got to play with Pops and Grams (my parents) and drove back to Dallas on Monday morning. Ashley took Monday off of work, so we got to enjoy the day together and did a little work around the house.

All in all, we had a great weekend seeing family and friends!
