Last weekend was bittersweet for me. We were planning on a relaxing weekend in Birmingham for one of my dear friends wedding when we got the news that my mom's uncle, my KK, had passed away. I have such sweet memories of summers at KK and Aunt Sadie's house, swimming in their pool, feeding their dogs and hanging out in their "cool motorcycle-themed" garage. KK was always such a handy-man, and managed to surprise me one year with a pink life size (for a 5 year old) playhouse; fully equipped with electricity, a front porch, purple shutters and a deck! That little playhouse has been such a blessing to other little girls and I'm hoping one day to get it moved to Texas so MG can play in it too! The last time I saw KK was right after I found out I was pregnant with Mary Grayson. He was so excited and I am so sad he never got to meet her. But one day they will! His suffering is over and know he is rejoicing with our Father in Heaven! Funerals are always hard, no matter how close you were to the person who passed away. It was fun to catch up with family members I hadn't seen in a while and sad at the same time saying good-bye (for now) to a loved one.
The funeral services delayed our trip a day and we headed to Birmingham after the services on Friday. We enjoyed sight-seeing in B'ham on Saturday before the wedding festivities. Oh! How I miss Birmingham! The hills are just beautiful and eventhough it was just slightly LESS hot there than in Texas it was nice to get away from 110% humidity for a day or so. MG was a real trooper for the 6 hour drive and really enjoyed all the music and people watching at the wedding!

On the way home we stopped in Denham Springs to meet yet another new little boy and MG's potential friends! Colby Michael Sommers was born to one of Marvin's best friends and we could'nt wait to meet him. MG did much better with Colby than she did meeting Ty just a few weeks ago. She didn't grab for his passie, but just looked at him sweetly! We are so excited for Steve and Ann Rob and their new addition. We know just how fast those little ones grow and we are looking foward to many memories of our children growing up together!
