West Texas Fun

Most people would not think that West Texas is the ideal August getaway. These people have clearly not spent a week in the glorious Ft. Davis Mountains with loved ones, eating cookies on the porch, chasing small children, singing gorgeous hymns of old with generations of family, and learning of the mysteries of our great God.

The weather was perfect, beautiful and dry, with a sweet afternoon shower that really encouraged a long afternoon slumber. I love Bloys' Camp Meeting. I wish it happened more that once a year.

My mom and dad came from Colorado and Caleb's parents from East Texas, what a blessing to have the grandparents near for some downtime for mommy!

So good to see pictures of Shirky, Judy and Ryan! Is this a Family Reunion? Just Curious...are those family members? Loved the family picture. I still can't believe you are pregnant. What a blessing. I wish we were doing it together...God had different plans for me and that's okay. I know his timing is perfect and hopefully I won't be too far behind you. Keep us posted on how you are feeling.
