We headed down to Houston this past weekend to visit the Double J ranch & go to Alex's Birthday party. We had a great time & I'll post some pictures soon. But for now, here are some of the favorite things I remember:
Looking in at the 3 cousins sleeping on one air mattress. Clara & Alex were even holding hands.
John Michael trying to scream "Alex" as he was trapped in his high chair and listening to the other three playing hide-and-seek.
A sweet kiss on the head for John Michael from Alex. Alex was amazed at some of the "new" things JM could do - stand, "walk" (only with a hand on something), "talk" - Alex declared that JM told him "yes!"
During the long drive, I guess JM got bored. The only person he can see is Clara, so he decided to initiate a game of Peek-a-Boo with his blanket. It was so funny to see him & he thought he was just too funny!
Several times in the car on the drive home, John Michael would start giggling at Clara. I guess she is more amusing to him when he knows he isn't in danger of being over-enthusiastically hugged!
Watching the kids run around at the Little Gym - so proud of walking on the balance beam or swinging on the rings.
Alex sharing his new bike with the girls & letting them each ride it multiple times!
Having a delicious breakfast with everyone on Sunday morning (okay and Monday morning, too - if I just hadn't slept in later than everyone).
Getting to chat lots & lots with my Big Sis and not having to be on the phone to do it!
I know there are more, but unfortunately, John Michael has started to cry. I guess he doesn't think I should blog anymore tonight! Pictures coming soon...

Were we both in Houston on Monday?! We really should chat more.
Isn't that what life is really about? All of the wonderful relationships that we form. And, the most precious to watch, I would have to agree, is those between the little ones that we love.
