Not much to blog about other than 19 hours of quality time with my lovely wife, visiting with family and the requisite photo shoot of the nieces, nephews and cousins. _MG_2003 _MG_2007 _MG_2017 _MG_2021 _MG_2030 _MG_2078 _MG_2089 _MG_2120 _MG_2130 _MG_2095

There we had the pleasure of meeting another new niece for the first time. As a family we’ve found a pattern that works for us. Family gatherings consist of going to my grandpa’s and cooking some form of beef while watching the kids play in the yard. Overall we had a great we enjoying family, friends and great Texas food.

We had a great time catching up. The whole family treated us to a great Texas style lunch as well as a feast of surf and turf prepared by Stephanie’s Dad. One of the highlights of the trip was getting to meet my new niece for the first time. Although Stephanie had already had the pleasure, it was my first time.

Stephanie and I had the week off and began our tour of Texas; meaning we spent vacation visiting both of our families, which live in different parts of Texas. It had been a long time since we had been to Texas and much of our family hadn’t seen us in over a year. First on the journey was Stephanie’s grandparents who live on Sam Rayburn Lake. We always enjoy the peacefulness of the lake and as always the great company.  It’s a great place to sit on the porch and enjoy great company and a great view. More of Texas still to come. _MG_1411 (1) _MG_1414 _MG_1418

Here’s a few pics of my sister, niece and nephew. I wish we would’ve taken more pictures.

I wish my lawn looked as good is my Grandpa’s.

At 7 weeks she was already very photogenic with her spiky red hair like a punk rocker. She’s a cutie!

We moved all of our stuff into storage and are touring Texas seeing family and friends one last time before we become permanent tenants of Tennessee. Our first stop was in Gorman where I undertook a carpentry project, building a fort/swing set in my parents’ backyard for our nieces and nephew. Although I really built it for them, I did make sure at least one of the swings was adult capacity :)
