Catching Up

Ok it's time to start catching up on news and pictures since it has been about three weeks since I've posted anything. Not a lot has changed except Camryn continues to grow. She is crawling, "walking" around the furniture and standing for short periods by herself. I figure it is only going to be a couple more weeks before she tries walking. She continues to be a joy to have around the house.

Here are a couple of pictures of Camryn in her Easter dress. Unfortunately, it got chilly, so we had to put a sweater on her after the pictures were taken.



And who knew that a toy basket could be such entertainment for the adults. I was cleaning up the kitchen when John hollered at me to come into the living room with the camera. He had been keeping an eye on Camryn and watching TV, and suddenly saw just feet sticking up in the air. I guess her balance is still a little shaky, but she did manage to get where she wanted to be - inside the basket with the toys.


Sara, Camryn and I were able to meet up with Cindy and Joe at the Dallas airport yesterday (Saturday), and we spent about an hour together. If I had gotten up a little earlier and checked the flight arrival information, it could have been longer. I think yesterday was one time that American managed to be early instead of on time or late. Their flight got into Dallas about 30 minutes earlier than it was scheduled to. By the time the girls and I got out the door and to the airport, we made it there when the flight was supposed arrive originally. I am going to see what I can do to meet them on their layover Friday. It will be a little more difficult since it is in the afternoon and work gets in the way.


Later this month Mom and Dad will be here. We are looking forward to that visit as it has been since Dad's surgery since we have seen them, and a couple of years since they have been to Texas. The early part of May will find us heading to Louisiana for a couple of days to attend Jim's memorial service. That will be a difficult trip, especially for John. He is missing his weekly talks with his brother terribly. I know time will ease his pain, but it is still very fresh for him.

Other than that, life continues on and we take each day as it comes. Love to everyone!

LOVED the update! I'm glad to hear things are going well.

I can't believe that little stinker is cruising around furniture!!!! Gabby can stand but she REFUSES to take a step! I can't wait until they can meet each other!

Bart and I frequently turn the t.v. off and let our kids entertain us. It is so much fun to see what their little brains can think of!

Love you all and can't wait to see you!

Enjoyed seeing you and Sara and Cami Saturday morning! We are enjoying our visit with mom, dad, and Rich. Rich left today. Tomorrow we plan to go to Fort Bowie and have dinner with Uncle Richard and Aunt Marie (Joe's aunt and uncle). Still want to go to Cochise Stronghold. Hope it works out to see you on our way home Friday but will understand if it doesn't work.
