Whenever I am holding Gracie Ann and Isaac comes up to sit on my lap.....he always says  "Too many babies".....
So, naturally Isaac calls this picture......."too many babies" which is very sweet and funny and we both start giggling every time that he says it....
BUT I always tell him that there could NEVER be TOO MANY babies!

SUPER FUN DAY 
ENDING WITH DRIVING TO MEET MY DEAREST FRIEND ERIKA WHO MOVED AWAY TO KNOXVILLE TN



IT HAS BEEN YEARS SINCE I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HUG THIS SPECIAL GIRL.....TEARS WERE ROLLING

EVEN OUR KIDS WERE ALL FRIENDS
Madison and Anna Grace became friends when they were only 3 months old
Well.....they didn't realize that they were friends that young
My best and oldest (not in age but in how long we have been friends) friend.....Erica!  We grow up together as mommies and Anna Grace was Madison's very first friend
Remember when we were in the St. Thomas Aquinas new moms playgroup and we decided to begin "seeing each other" outside of our weekly play group?!?!  We were quite the match indeed.....
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO MOVE..... 
BUT I totally know that Jesus is at work here and I trust that you are exactly where He wants you!!
Oh Erika....It was such a blessing to see you, though!
The old gang of friends......except for Isaac and Gracie Ann (they fell asleep) but they were not original members
What an amazing night.....I missed Erika so much!! Thank You Jesus for bringing these two souls back together again!!  I already miss her

GOODBYE TENNESSEE
HEADING BACK TO TEXAS....WITH ONE STOP












YEAH WE HAVE REACHED LOUISIANA.....HOME OF OUR  COUSINS
WE CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THEM

This  was a REALLY DIFFICULT State Welcome sign to photograph near

WELCOME HOME



IT WAS A WONDEFULLY BLESSED TRIP (so many laughs and so much joy)......
BUT THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

Dear Jesus,
Thank You for this very special week, where I was so very spoiled to  be helathy enough, to be able to take this trip, where I was blessed to have my family ALL to MYSELF to enjoy and love.  I cannot believe that we only have one more year all together before Madison leaves for college.  Please help Jeremy and I form these five little souls that You intrusted to us.  Help them (and Jeremy and I) to keep You in the center of their (our) lives today, tomorrow, and forever.
 Lord, I beg of You, that at the end of their earthly journeys, through this exile, that You would please fill in all of the holes that Jeremy and I have left as earthly and imprfect parents, and guide them back home to You to live in Heaven with You forever and ever
Amen
Love,
kerry ann
