Tour of Texas, Week 2
April 5th, 2007 by SuzanneI’ll get through all 4 and 1/2 weeks of our TX trip one of these days - hopefully before we go back next year!
We spent our second week in Lubbock, which is where we lived before we moved to Canada. It’s where Joe and I met, went to college, lived after we got married, bought our first house, had Evan, and made lots of lifelong friends. Needless to say, it’s a place that’s special to us, despite the dust storms and lack of trees!
Some of our best pals had a party for Evan with more than just adults. There were 8 of Evan’s friends there to total 9 toddlers, 9 parents, 1 dog, a ridiculous amount of cups, and lots of fun. Here is our attempt to get 9 toddlers (ranging in age from about 4 and 1/2 to 13 months) to sit still for a picture:
As you can see, only 6 kids made it in the photo plus part of Evan’s backside. Believe me when I say that the other 2 children are just as cute. Here’s the cake - perfect for Evan who LOVES wheels:
And yes, it was SO good. Blowing out the candles is pretty easy when there are only 2 of them!:
Here are our sweet friends (I don’t know where Dad was - maybe searching for a quiet place?) who were brave enough to host the army at their home:
And look what they gave Evan for his birthday:
Again, we cannot thank everyone enough for wanting to do this for Evan. What a fun and memorable night!
We had lots of good times with the whole gang throughout the week in addition to wonderful visits with friends from church. We didn’t manage to get any pictures of our church friends, but we had some great conversations about what God is doing through GoodSeed over great food. We were so blessed and so encouraged, and we thank God continually for the amazing people He has placed in our lives. We love you!
