Missing our sweet family

We were so lucky to be able to squeeze one more trip in to Dallas to visit our amazing family up there before we leave Texas.  It was an absolutely perfect weekend and none of us were ready to leave when it came to an end.  I wish I would have taken a few pictures but we were too busy having lots of fun.

We had the chance to visit our ADORABLE nephew Caleb in the NICU while we were there.  He is even cuter in person than all the pictures we have seen of him.  It was so nice to finally meet him!  All of our kids have a cousin in this family very close to them in age so Caleb is Brooklyn's playmate.  We can't wait to see them together one day soon.

Abe's brother had planned a huge surprise party for his wife for this same weekend so it was so fun to get to be in on the surprise for her.  We dropped all the big kids off at a gymnastic place for their open gym and the adults went to a cable lake for wakeboarding.  I have never wakeboarded before but it was such a great time.  At this place you don't wakeboard behind a boat but rather by cables that pull you around a loop.  It was great for beginners like me.  Everyone was so nice and we just had a blast.  The kids all played so nicely together and we had lots of time to visit so it was just a perfect weekend with family.  We have been so lucky to have family relatively close for these past 3 years.  We are looking forward to moving a little further west to be closer to Abe's family for the next couple of years.
