Family Visits and Birthday Party

Wow! What a couple of weeks! Well, we have been very blessed with more people we LOVE coming in to see Keene. Since our last update, my Grandma Rosemary (my dad's mom) came down to see Keene and was here for five days and it was wonderful! Keene loved her instantly-her softness, her singing, her rocking...just everything about her. She helped out so much and taught me (Megan) how to make homemade cinnamon rolls and chicken fried steak. YUM!!! I think we all gained 5 pounds while she was here. She is one of my most favorite people and always has been! Then, two days after she left my dad, Danny Gramps to his grandchildren, and my stepmom, Peggy, came into town for the weekend. We did many fun things and Keene loved being out and about with them. We went to the "Oldest Harley Dealership in Texas" in Big Spring, then ate BBQ at KD's, then on to the Harley Dealership in Midessa and on in to Odessa to visit with Mike's mom (Mernie to Keene, and Mary to the rest of us) and Dennis. It was a very fun day. It was good to have my dad here to meet our baby. It meant alot to have him come all this way. There are some other random pictures in the slideshow, but my favorites are the last few. We just went tonight over to our friends, Janet and Chuck Hamilton's, house for Chuck's birthday. We had a great time visiting with Chuck and Janet and two other friends Denise and Todd Roberson.


We can't believe our little boy is already 5 weeks old! Time flies and I can hardly believe we have been blessed with him for that long! We are going to Possum Kingdom next weekend for a Birthday Weekend and so we will have more pics up with Mike's family hopefully! His Grandma Josephine is turning 84 (or something close to that) so the family is getting together. Okay, enough for now. Leave us a comment! We would love to hear from all of you!
