Family in town!

Hey Mason,

Dad again! Saturday we had family over! Carole, Scott, Jasper and Tyla came to visit. Nana, Granddad, Tim, Michelle, Wesley, Austin, Megan and Liev came too. Jeff and Andrew were at drill and Kevin had to work at Target. It was a beautiful day! You got to play with your cousins a lot! You all had a great time in the yard and in the playset. That was one of the first days since we bought our house that it was nice enough to play in the yard! I know that you all were having fun because when Scott told Jasper it was time to leave, he said "now?" as if he wasn't ready yet. It was also a sad day though because Tyla's dog passed away. Holly and Bill could not come because they already had their taxes scheduled for that day. You were sure worn out when everyone left! You took a long nap.

On Sunday we went to Church (First McKinney) and we left you in the nursery. It was the third time we've done that. We think you had fun, but when we got back you started crying the minute you saw your mommy! You must have missed her. At church they split up the guys and girls and talked about our different roles in our families. It made me think about how important it is that I am a good husband for your mommy and a good daddy for you! After church we went to Dallas (uptown) and ate at Chuey's Tex-Mex on the patio. It was a little bit cold but you sure liked the birds that were out there looking for food! You laughed when you saw them. One waitress stopped by just to meet you. She has a little boy a few months older than you and she said that seeing you made her want to go home to be with her son! You ate some Tex-Mex food with us and you sure seem to like it! Especially guacamole! After a long lunch, we walked around the stores and we bought a rug from Pottery Barn. We decided to take it back though because the colors don't work in our living room.

We sure love you buddy! It is so exciting you hang out with you every day and watch you grow.
