Everything's big in Texas!

We just got back from a great trip to Dallas, TX to meet up with our seminary friends. We had 18 people in the Walkers' 3-bedroom house - people sleeping everywhere, tons of food consumed, assembly line-type baths for the kids, late nights of Cranium and so many laughs! It was so great to see the big kids pick up right where they left off - Tyler, Michaela and Lorelei playing "beauty parlor" together, staying up late at night, wearing matching outfits - and the younger ones starting new memories and making new friends - Eben delighted in Arden!

Christina is four weeks away from her due date but opened her house to all of us. We had meals together again and when all of us adults sat down at the table together I started to cry (Literally! Yes, me!) It was just surreal that it had actually happened - we'd all ended up in the same place, sitting down together again! We celebrated Brandy's birthday, went swimming, the guys played golf (Scott retaining the "green jacket"), the girls went to dinner and out shopping, we made a big family trip to the zoo and a couple trips to the park. All said and done, it hurt to say goodbye again but I was so glad we were already talking about what to do next year!
