With all the major transitions that are happening for our family, it was good to spend some quality time with friends and extended family as we traveled. We've made it safely to North Dakota, but these photos are from the days we spent reconnecting with friends and family along the way . . .
We got to stay with Ryan's brother and family for the first few days . . . this was round two of backyard pool fun!
This photo pretty much sums it up: our kids were all about (and all over) anything Uncle Sean and Aunt Jessica were doing (and Bridgette is just a monkey!)
We had a Star Wars movie night, complete with light saber snacks and a new Star Wars t-shirt!
Sweet Phoebe put up with so much having her three boisterous cousins invade her space! But it was great to get to know her better and we're glad she was asking where "the cousins" were after we'd left instead of throwing a party that we were gone!
The kids were big fans of the treats at church!
The splash pad was empty at 9:30am, but it was plenty warm to enjoy the water!
It had only been a week since we'd said goodbye to the Leach Family in England, but it sure was good to say hello again and get a hug from dear friends when we met up at Braums! Our visits to family overlapped in the same city!
It had been a long time since I'd visited with Auburn! We met in college, roomed together, and were bridesmaids in each others wedding. It was wonderful to reconnect with her and get to meet her precious children.
We also hung out with the Campbell Crew! What a wonderful blessing this family's friendship continues to be for us.
Ryan and I managed a little morning "date" at the Porter Peach Festival 5K run. I said I'd do it if Ryan would run my pace, which he graciously did, and I actually enjoyed myself. I ran the whole thing, without stopping, and - more importantly - without passing out. Victory.
The family checking out our new van we have affectionately named Snowball. This is how Ryan made it up to North Dakota!
Thanks for the lego help, Uncle Joe!
Speaking of Uncle Joe . . . he let Rooke take this sword home. Oh my! We've all agreed it will stay on the wall as decoration in his new room!
Uncle Sean outfitted our family with hyper-color Tulsa Tech glasses!
Brothers and sisters
Grammy Deb hosted a little tea party for the girls!
The Paynes! It was great to be all together.

What fun to have family and friends to connect with while moving from one country to another! Looks like a good time had by all. Looking forward to N. Dakota pics.
Is that seriously a huge sweat spot on your tshirt after your 5K RUN? Who are you?!? I don't even know you anymore.
