Pieces of my Heart

 The 5 am airport run was so sad. I am sure that each of them were excited to get back to their lives but we were all heart broken to see them go. Jumba even road with us to the airport to give last minute hugs.
We love each of you and can't imagine our lives with out Goobers, Pooker & JavaJava, and Bear! Be safe and know that you are loved.

Last Day With Everyone Home

It was very chilly today but we wanted an adventure worthy of our last day together for awhile. Bear, JavaJava, Pooker and Goobers were all flying out early the next morning. Today was out day.
In spite of the cold two of the boys were acting ridiculous and wore shorts. It was a fun afternoon walking around and looking at the animals. The St. Louis Zoo really is a great zoo. Check it out if you are ever in St. Louis.














Thank you God for this fun day to spend with all of our kids. We really are blessed to have had this time with each of them. My heart is full!

Good Bye to the T Family

WE decked them out in Blues gear before sending them back to TX. They looked good. WE felt so honored that our friends traveled to see us.
Twin Adorable is very blessed to have such loving God parents.

Thank you for the visit and we hope and pray that your trip home is safe and uneventful. We love you all!

Show the T Family Our Beautiful St. Louis Basilica

While we finished having our pictures taken the T family took a quick view of the St. Louis Arch. It peaked an interest. They look forward to exploring more when returning for the Wedding. WE met them for Mass at the Basilica. J and I loved hearing our guests express their thoughts and questions about this beautiful building. The ushers allowed us a little time afterwards and we met a nice homeless man. He snuck in asked for money and then ra away before getting caught and before we gave him any thing. So I ask for prayers for him.  
 This building lives one soul to God. Thank you God for this beautiful place to worship in. Thank you to all those that worked so hard through the past decades to provide us with this place.











This was such a fun experience. We loved sharing our "home" with our friends.

Official Family Potriats

Mimi had one desire. She wanted one more picture of all of her Grand kids with her. We tease her that she can die now. Oddly she seams ok with it. She just wanted us all be together for a picture. She loves these kids very much. All the pictures were taken by Lawing Photography LLC and are used and shared with permission. There are pictures of each family, each couple, and whole group all together. I was glad that the photographer even agreed to let me get a picture of my kiddos including JavaJava and the Tobias kiddos. They turned out pretty good. So many personalities coming out in these pictures.
