Spring Travels and Other Such Nonsense

June definitely started off with a bang as June 1st brought us the birthdays of two of our most favorite people.
 
 
 We didn't get to celebrate in person with Nick, but we certainly didn't forget about him!
 
We did get to celebrate with Grammy, June.  Here are a few pics of her birthday patio dinner party.  It was a family affair with Mike, June, Phyllis, Keely, Ryan and moi.
 
 Dinner on the patio!

Birthday Girl with her new GPS!

 Of course I had to include Keely's fabulous birthday cake and Ryan's super yummy shrimp cups.  I think these two should team up more often!
 
After the first weekend of birthday celebrations (which we actually celebrated on Memorial Day), I was able to sneak away for a few days to head home to Dallas.  Oh Texas - How I miss thee!  It was nice, toasty warm, and almost like being in a foreign country.  I loved every minute of being there and I have to admit that I had a really hard time boarding the plane to come home.
 
Grandma T and I FINALLY got to do some of the ever-so important gender specific shopping.  Of course I forgot to pack my camera.  The only pic from the entire weekend was one that Randy took with my phone at Amy's baby shower.  Here is a picture of Amy (and Miles) and me (and little G-MAN)... future best buds.  I'm so excited that we have at least one picture of us together with our baby bumps!  Just for posterity I wanted to include a picture of us from waaaaaaaaaay back, but there were just so many to choose from that I couldn't make up my mind.  Maybe I'll have to do a separate issue entry just on that!  Instead, here is a picture from the last time all of us were in the same place.  Where has the time gone?  The memories I share with Amy are ones that I will treasure throughout my entire life.
 
Our wedding:  Dawn, Jodina, me, Amy
  
Baby bumps! 
 
Actually, the whole weekend was filled with friends and their new families.  It warms my heart to see everyone so happy and that was probably why it was so hard for me to leave this time.  I'm so irritated with myself that I didn't get a good picture of Dawn with her 2 precious boys.  They sure are cutie pies!  It only seems right that Dawn, Amy, and I have a a chance to let our little boys be friends.  I'm so excited about this new path that we've all started and I can NOT wait to see where it takes us.
