Weekend in Big D

What a wonderful weekend!

We left Friday morning and headed to Palestine bright and early. Jared had a business meeting, so Davis and I took the opportunity to go visit Gigi at her office and also to see Fairy. Davis loved seeing both of them and as usual, was quite the ham.

We got a late start to Dallas from Palestine but did make it in time for Davis and I to have lunch with two very special friends, Jan and Audry. Jan is the buyer I supported when I worked at Neiman Marcus. Audry and I worked together in college, literally inches from one another as our desks faced one another. Two years later, our desks were again "touching" when we were on Jan's "dream team" together. I do really miss my job, and the two of them especially.

After lunch, we headed to the Gurgs. Jared and Casey headed to the golf course and Carroll and I took the kiddos to Northpark for dinner at La Duni. We could not miss a chance to see Aunt Mille-mo (Camille) and we were so glad that Davis was finally able to meet Camille's sweet nephew, Blake. Dinner was awesome and the kids did great!

We got back to Casey & Carroll's home and decided to give Anna and Davis a bath together. After all, we have to get plenty of ammunition for future embarassment one day :) Anna wasn't too sure of sharing her bathtub with someone, especially someone was rowdy as Davis. He was splashing her, screaming with excitement, and talking nonstop. Davis even flipped himself back in the bathtub when Carroll and I were trying to take a picture of the kiddos beside the bathtub. And sweet Anna just sat there, trying to figure out what on earth this "wild man" was up to.

Saturday was wonderful. Beautiful weather, no agenda...it was just perfect. The boys took the babies to the park, proudly beating their chests when they shared the gloating comments the other mothers had poured on them for being such good dads. And they are :) After lots of play time and even some estate sale shopping, we headed to dinner at a neighborhood restaurant. How wonderful it was to be able to walk to dinner! The kids got a pretty fun shuttle ride :)

When we returned, we had to do a repeat of the double bath time. This time, Anna became convinced it was pretty fun.

We left early to head back to church in Tyler this morning. We had such a great time! Being able to see Jan and Audry on Friday afternoon, Camille, Jennifer and Blake that night, and then to spend two whole nights with the Gurgs, well, it was just amazing. We are already looking forward to the next time!
