Some pics from Dallas area visit

We are back from Texas and I will slowly put up pictures from our trip. We had a great time seeing friends and family. I apologize they are all out of order, but at least they're up! I brought my 2 1/2 year old niece home with me, so we are enjoying having a little one around the house, but I don't have as much free time to blog. It's amazing how one extra kid can add so much more work! Pics of Maison, my niece visiting, coming soon...

While in Allen we visited with Maddi's kinder teacher, Miss Phillips. She was such a great teacher and Maddi and her adore each other.
Sunday evening we got together with Kim and Dusti and their families at Kim's beautiful new home. The kids and adults all had a great time playing and talking with each other. How our lives have changed from the good old college days.
This is Dusti's little girl, Reece, and Kim's little boy, Tanner. They were precious and gave each other many hugs and kisses. A very young romance!
Maddi spent the night at Grammy's house. Cade chose not to stay the night because Mommy wasn't staying with him.
Maddi with Aunt Becca. Maddi always enjoys hanging out with her sweet Aunt.
Maddi was trying to get Grace (Joel and Sara's little one) to sit with her for a picture. Grace doesn't really like to slow down for pictures. We enjoyed Grace and she enjoyed soaking up all of the attention.
The kids enjoyed a snack break before we left the Chicago O'Hare airport. We were very lucky and all of our flights were on time and uneventful.
5 minutes before we landed Cade fell asleep. Poor Brett had to carry his sleeping dead weight to baggage claim where we finally got him to wake up.
The kids were so excited to see Uncle Joel at the airport!
Joel bought us all Texas A&M basketball shirts and we were quite happy since we can't get Aggie or Cowboys attire in Chicago. Brett and Jesse enjoyed watching the basketball game.
The morning before we left for our trip Cade went to the clubhouse for an egg hunt and brunch. Poor Maddi had to miss it because she was at dance.
