On our way out, we had a layover in Dallas for 3 hours. Some of our dearest friends recently moved there so we shot in the dark to see if we could have some time with them during the layover. It worked!!! They swung by the airport and the girls got to play together for an hour while we all caught up. My heart was full from just being with the Cranks...how I miss them all. Addie's sole close girl friend was Josie (and Anna too) so it was fun to see them play.
In TN, we stayed with my brother's family in Memphis and had a blast with their family. Addie (and us too) fell more in love with her cousins and they all got along perfectly. Quinn and Addie would play dolls or walk around in dress up shoes one minute and run around the house like crazies with the boys the next. It was too sweet to just live a few days with them all. I found myself wanting to be closer to them more and more. Can we pull some states closer together?? Or can they all just move to CA? :)
The party for Big Buddy was a hit. He was shocked and surprised by the festivities...I think he is still processing it all. The family really pulled together to pull off a great event and it all ran smoothly. Chris experienced his first southern-coke-with-peanuts drink. I personally think my cousins lied to him to see if he would really drink it...he did. :) We got a little time with my beautiful sister, two younger brothers, and my folks. It's never enough but we have to be grateful for what we had. All in all, it was a great trip (minus the HORRIBLE trip home...another story for another time). Miss you all!
