Peace garden

Thanks to my mom and Jennifer Carr (asparagus fern) and Bradley Wagner (fig ivy).  The tips of the asparagus fern look just like asparagus and truly the fig ivy is what makes it so beautiful, wink, wink
Byrom and I can take credit for the dead patches of grass that surround the peace garden.

A visit to Dallas to see the Cousins

Miranda had quite the experience when she went to Dallas to visit the cousins.  Aunt Jennifer treated her to raisin bread.  She said all she could think of was, "I hope they have this raisin bread at HEB".
One morning she came upstairs and said, "More cousins are here".  Turns out it was Sylvia the maid's grandchildren that she brings to Jennifer's when she cleans.  I guess we have to talk a little more about what a cousin is.

Shopping at Vera Bradley on the way

The cousins, Miranda, Savannah (Magical Mary) & James

While in Dallas, I visited Chuck Swindol's church.  It was wonderful!





Take a look at those pipes


Scott, Byrom and I went to see Aunt Rosemary.  That was a ton of fun.  Rosemary was very enamored with "Robert"  She thought he was quite handsome and said that 3rd time must have been the charm.  So Aunt Rosemary.  


Savannah, Jed & Miranda


Houston Rodeo 2013

Olivia, Gretchen, Dr. Meyer & Madelyn.  Poor Ashley missed the event because she was in Hawaii :)

Savannah in a cast

I really need more details for this post, but thought I would go ahead and post picture.  Your first cast is so exciting.  Gretchen said it was precautionary and I think it involved tendons, so happy it was not a hurtful injury.
Savannah Kathleen is a namesake as well as my god daughter.  Pretty important stuff.  She is Sid and Gretchen's 2nd child.

Bradley Wagner's Grandmother - WASP Museum

Byrom went to visit his father, James Butler in Sweetwater and they made a trek to the WASP Museum.  While there, Byrom got a scratching of Mary Wagner's name on a memorial.  I think this is write, but there is no one to dispute me . . . so I am right :)

The Jon Rosenthals come in from Hawaii

Jon and Amanda Rosenthal are Jennifer's brother and sister-in-law from Hawaii.  They came to Texas for a wedding a visit to Dallas to see the family.
