Guns, church and meat...

We had a great time with my brothers. Here are some scenes from Alabama...











Normally its tacky to take pictures in church, but there's an exception when your brother's the pastor. I love seeing the way he's grown from kind of a goofy little brother to a man of God.



I love this picture of David sitting between his cousins in church.



And, because "hot dogs" is much less appetizing than...



"meat wieners".

Whodunit?...

Somehow we lost a piece to Rand's car seat in Meridian, Mississippi. Ron, my awesome father-in-law who's driving me all over the country this week, thinks the blame lies with the klutz who took him out of the seat (me). But every mystery I ever read said you must ask the question, "Who stands to gain from the crime?" Well, this was Rand before we stopped.



He got an extra 30 minutes crawling around the car while we searched frantically for that stupid piece. I think he's a baby criminal genius. He must have hid it somewhere. Ron ended up buying heavy duty plastic ties and scissors, so now we have to cut him out at every stop.



We made it to John's house. Aaron and the girls came down too.



John and Karen and I stayed up late talking and playing guitar. Conversation...

Me: Did you just pick up guitar on your own?
John: No, I had lessons.
Me: When? How did I not notice that?
John: Ninth grade - you were probably busy looking at index cards.

Cousin trek day 5...

I took Bryan and Brady on a books and donuts date this morning. The two-and four-year-old crowd can summon a lot of enthusiasm over donut selection.



I took the big boys on a Starbucks and Lego game date yesterday. It costs more to buy two chai lattes and two mini donuts from Starbucks than it does to buy two drinks, five large donuts and two dozen donut holes at the donut store.

Jacob and Maggie's Disney World conversation:

Jacob: Did you ride any cat rides?
Me: (Confused. Was there some kind of Cat in the Hat ride???)
Maggie: (Without missing a beat, statement not a question) You mean kiddie rides. Yes.

Motherland...

I know I'm back in Texas because...

1. I'm wearing short sleeves in December.
2. My hair has reached a new level of frizziness.
3. My son shot a bb gun today.
4. I passed a coffee shop with a cowboy hat roof.

Cousin trek day 3...

We played kickball in Papa T's school gym. I carried Rand on my back in the Ergo. We decided that if I got tagged out on Rand, it didn't count, but if I scored with Rand on my back, it counted as two runs. The human shield was worth the weight and really enjoyed the ride.



Rand loves Amy. He fusses for her when I'm holding him.

Cousin trek day 1...

We're off to see all our cousins. Day 1 was a race against the snow. It looked dicey here and there in Virginia, but we made it.
