the husband and i made the trek to east texas this weekend to meet our new nephew. it was so good to be home and so sweet to meet the little guy. i was sad to leave. i mean, look at this place:
who wouldn't be sad to leave? let's just say spring in oklahoma doesn't quite look like that. in fact, it's sleeting today. bless it. i couldn't stop staring at those azaleas and dogwoods... well, really just the trees in general. WE DON'T HAVE THOSE HERE. help me, jesus.
i've been a little homesick lately, so it was extra good to be around my favorite people for a few days -- and especially fun to meet my newest favorite person. he's just so precious and wonderful and good and perfect. yep. all of those things.
i also loved getting to hang out with my favorite almost-two-year-old (which is so hard to believe!). it's really fun to be able to communicate (-ish) with him now. we played outside, went to the park, watched cartoons... you know, like you do. he's so easily excited and laughs a lot -- which is convenient for me, because i can't help but laugh when he laughs. i'm just crazy about this kid.
east texas, you are beautiful.
family, i already can't wait to see you again.
on our way home, we made a quick stop to see the husband's family. i hadn't seen them since christmas. not acceptable. how cute is this little guy?! and who knew they made overalls for babies? it's too much.
we're so thankful for three healthy, adorable nephews and for family that we love spending time with. they're rare gifts and i miss them again already.
