My sister and her family.
It had been two years since I had been down to Lebanon, Tennesee (near Nashville) to see them, and I had to go to St. Louis for a meeting, so what's an extra twelve hours in the car? I am SOOO glad that I did! David and James had grown so much that I wouldn't have recognized them on the street! Why do we put off the things are most important, the people we care about most?
Brad owns a diesel repair shop, Karen is the Chief Medical Officer for TennCare (Tennessee's Medicare). According to their mother, the kids are all the smartest, nicest, kindest gifts that God has ever put on the planet. You know how that goes. But I would say that she wasn't far off. David is working on graduating high school, James is killing himself in soccer, Mary is pictured here with her pet rabbits, Jenny just got home from a DANCE and Brandon is with one of their four horses.

Bob Knickerbocker came down as well,
and we had a great time riding horses and just hanging. A few last breaths of calm before traveling internationally.
