Updates

I am dreadfully behind on updates! Here are some highlights - I'll follow up with pictures.

Ray and I got to attend the Jimmy Buffet concert in Frisco last weekend. He was great in concert and we really enjoyed it. We felt like we were a little late to the party since most others had tailgated (all day). The kids had a new babysitter, named Gylissa whom they enjoyed.

I traveled to Connecticut for work a couple of weeks ago. By the time I got on the plane, overheads were full and they took my bag, which never did arrive in CT. Lots of improvisation followed. My bag was returned to me in Dallas 4 days later. It was not a good experience with Delta!

Ray is trying to get home from Atlanta right now - I'm sure his plane is dodging the storms that have plagued north Texas all evening.

We got the kids one of those monster water slides to entertain them while Ray and I work in the yard. They love it. I have to admit, I look forward to taking a turn one of these days!

We're really excited for a visit from Auntie Erin this weekend. We haven't seen her in over a year so we are very excited she'll be spending Memorial Weekend with us!

I booked a trip for grandma Charlotte today she's coming in July to stay with the kids while Ray and I venture to Cabo San Lucas. Ray is going for business. I am tagging a long for a free hotel stay and activities. We are planning to do some zip lining at a tequila factory. That is if I don't chicken out!

I told the kids about grandma coming in July and Chloe replied "well, you'd better get out the 2-step ladder!".

Great Aunt Shirley was here a couple of weeks ago. She helped us with lots of yard work as usual. She planted some impatiens in our secret garden and they are so pretty. They remind us of her each time we go back there! She also inspired us to cut down a few more trees so hopefully that will happen soon!

I think that's all the big stuff! Hope everyone out there is well.
