Low flying trip to Texas

We got back last night from a very quick, but rich trip to Texas. We joined Summer Powell and her family in her marriage to Tupac.
It was a beautiful wedding and we are excited for what lies ahead for Summer and Tupac. Victoria and Sofia were both flower girls and did a great job in the wedding.
For a plethora of pictures, you can go here. They looked so beautiful and big! They not only enjoyed their weddingly duties, but they also enjoyed spending time with Jessica, Grace and Grant Wininger. We stayed with our friends Ted and Cindy. They are the kind of friends that make you feel at home, when it's really not your home, and even when you flood their pantry. We and our kids stepped right in where we had left off and enjoyed good coffee, great food, trampoline jumping, playing and an occasional shut-eye! I would post a picture of them, but we thought of picture taking on Sunday morning, when none of us were looking particularly glamorous for pictures, and as any Sunday morning, running late!

It was an uneventful trip that included a 4 hour drive to and from Mexico City and a plane ride to DFW. The girls were thrilled to be able to fly, which made the drive worthwhile. They only went to the bathroom three times in two hours! I'm thinking they were checking out a few of the bathroom amenities...(memories from flying to and from Argentina...)
Once again, we are home safe and sound, and nothing fell apart. Our pets are with us. Yes, we have a new pet: a guinea pig! We went to the fair and came home with it. I was not in the pet shop when the deal went down...but, hey, it's not a dog.

Meet Cri-cri -- who is looking much healthier than his first days here!
