We are having a fabulous time away this weekend. We are visiting with Eric’s parents and their long-time friends who live in Tyler. The kids are having a blast running around outside, playing with all the new-to-them toys in the playroom and having 4 ‘grandparents’ at their disposal. Which is a welcome break for Eric and I! Eric’s Dad has especially been looking forward to visiting us so that he could take Daniel to get his first pair of cowboy boots. And Daniel LOVES them -what’s not to love about John Deere and Camouflage?. I must say, for being a city girl, they are pretty cute on him. (Once I figure out how to post pictures, I’ll put one up!). So while Grandpa Dennis and the boys were getting boots for Daniel, Grandma Jody and the girls were finding boots for Emily. And did the girls find boots! Emily now has a lively pink pair of cowgirl boots with more bling than I thought was possible. Silver sparkling emblems, and light up stars all up and down the side. She was thrilled – tickled pink, silver, and light up stars to be exact! She insisted that she wear them to bed last night! =) All in all a successful footwear outing – complete with eggnog lattes from Starbucks.
I am off to eat a homemade breakfast of pancakes and bacon – yum!
