We were so fortunate to have my parents stay with us for a few weeks while my Dad did some work here in San Antonio. It was a really laid back visit The girls were in school and my Dad was working during the day so most of the time it was Mom, Liddy and me. We cleaned house, ran errands, sewed projects, and shopped. It was a lot of fun just being together. We were also able to take advantage of my parents as babysitters so Burke and I could celebrate our wedding anniversary. The girls loved getting to spend time just with Grandma and Papa. On the weekend we went to the Snake farm. Right before they left my sister Ashley and her 8 month old daughter flew in for a visit. We all went to the Tea Garden and had real Texas BBQ. She stayed for a whole week and we had way too much fun. She got to celebrate Fiesta(Texas style mardi-gras) with us. We had a girls night on the River Walk watching the famous River Parade. We also visited all the tourists spots; the Missions, Alamo, River Walk,and the San Antonio Temple. We ate the most amazing food at Chris Madrid's Hamburgers, Casa Rio, and Harmon's BBQ. My niece was so darling. She and Biddy were fast friends. The older girls also adored her and kept her very entertained with all their songs, dances and constant stream of toys. On their last day here the girls had school off and we had a real Fiesta party complete with decorations, dancing, a piñata and swimming. We were sure spoiled to have three weeks of the best company imaginable. I love my family!!!

It's always so wonderful to have family visit. It's fun to see your mom and dad and Ashley. She looks absolutely fantastic and her little girl looks just like her daddy, I think! You look fabulous, too. Age is very kind to you (not that you're old, but as you're getting older you continue to look so youthful and beautiful.)
And, what's the story behind the shirt with all the missionaries' names on it?
These are fantastic pics! What a fun time you had while Ashley was here! Awesome!
