our Texas weekend :)

Last weekend we went to Texas to see family. We LOVE going to Texas and we LOVE the time we get with Jake, Jen & kiddos. We always wish we were able to stay longer, have more talks, do more projects, dominate in hand & foot :), and play with those sweet girls longer.

They have a way of making you feel "at home". I've learned soo much about hosting people in my home from my sis-in-law (sister, rather), Jen. She has such a grace about the way she entertains people in her home. She's so prepared, so easy going, so engaged, and has such a servant heart. Plus she's an incredible cook. We always have something new and amazing. She's a southern gem.

The guys (Jake & Seth) ALWAYS do a project of some sort. I don't know if we've ever been there and they weren't working on or fixing something. Seth loves it and loves working with Jake. He often comments how he is one of his favorite people to do projects with. Jake is one of the nicest people I know (ask me that when we were kids...might've been a different story, haha). 

Between Jen and I (both aspiring photographers, haha :)) there are always TONS of pictures! Plus this time I asked if she would take family pictures for us since we haven't had any taken since Gracie has been born and she did AMAZING.

So here is our weekend, in photos [some of these are probably the same as the photos on her blog :)] :

Believe it or not, Gracie is taller than Lila by a 1/2 inch but 4 months younger!!
