Our family had an excellent Memorial Day weekend.....the only part missing was Papa. The angels spent Friday night and most of Saturday with mom while Chris and I got to spend a little time alone together. Chris and I have always been very fortunate that mom and dad love to have the kids over as it gives us a lot of date nights and luxuries that most parents don't have of being able to spend time together without the kiddos. There are no words to thank them for their gift of time!!! Back to the rundown of the weekend.....
We decided that we would celebrate Memorial Day on Sunday (not sure why, but we still had a good time). Started off by driving out to Anderson in Grimes County to check out some potential land.....it is so beautiful in that area!!!! Along with the beauty of the area is the location, it's not far from College Station, aka The Mother Land. Naturally we ended up in College Station and as soon as we hit the city limits Parker started asking to see Kyle Field. Chris couldn't have been more proud.....that is until we actually SAW Kyle Field. When Parker finally saw Kyle Field he started singing as if rays of sunshine were lighting up the field and the angels were singing of it's joy. I'm not sure, but I think that I saw a tear in Chris' eye. :) After College Station, we headed back to Mom's, in major rain, to grill fajitas and swim. Needless to say we had a great dinner and great company!
Today we spent the day doing different things....no certain plans, but through the day I couldn't help but reflect on our service men and women who have given up and are continuing to give up so much for my family's freedom. Parker is fascinated with the military and war so it was a great opportunuity for Chris and I to talk with him about this very special day.
Finally, I attached a picture of Parker and Madelyn asleep in our bed on Sunday. They were so cute because they fell asleep holding hands! Even though they fight, I know that they really do love one another.
