Terry Visits!

I am so excited that I have gotten to see seriously some of my favorite people in the world twice in the last few months. In October ( yes.... I am way behind on several significant happenings!) we drove down to Normangee to visit the Terry Fam for the weekend. First of all, I was shocked to see that Normangee is really in the middle of the country and also shocked at how beautiful it was down there! The kids had a blast swimming (oh how I LOVE Texas!), chasing down donkeys, watching horses train, and I had a very special walk through grasshopper infested country roads with Melissa. The talk was great....the grasshoppers were actually terrifying for me. I hate those creatures! Anyways, most of all we just loved hanging out and spending time with Joe, Mel and little Isaac. They are all just too precious for words.

Praying this horse doesnt bite me! Yes I am a chicken...you know horses, grasshoppers, mice, roaches, fat frogs....

Rebekah checking out Billy! She is totally not scared like her Mom!

Joseph with a very fat frog that Madi kept trying to taste! I was of course freaking out!


John was not too fond of the donkeys! They came right up to the car. I felt like I was on one of those safari type tours! Well not safari but you know....


Hannah and Isaac...isn't he precious??!!

We got up early to watch the horses train on the race track....it was really amazing!


Then this last week, Mel and Isaac came to visit us for a few days. It was a glorious occasion in the Graves household!! Again, just getting to talk, try on clothes for Mel (she is my fashion consultant :) ), play with Isaac and hang out like old times was wonderful. Mel and I even got to go to a hot yoga class which we both throughly enjoyed and got absolutely drenched! The only downer was that we missed Joe Dan!


This is the only picture we took while they were here! I was so excited I obviously wasn't thinking!

Mel, you and your family are so dear to me! Thank you for making the drive with a baby, by yourself!!! to come visit. It was really great! Sending much love to Normangee!
