Sweet Esmé

Today we took a quick trip to Austin to visit our little niece Esmé. Oh she is such a gem and we had a wonderful time holding and loving her and visiting with Brittany. We enjoyed brunch at a darling little bistro called Chez Zee and the children were so wonderfully patient while we talked for hours. We then went to Brittany's house and enjoyed some pictures while the kids played outside. What a wonderful day for a trip. It is such a great opportunity to get to know family and love the sweet little blessings that enter our lives. We were so thankful for Brittany opening her world to us and inviting us in so lovingly.






I was so sad I didn't get a picture of Alex or Ken holding Esmé. We'll have to get that next time.

Grace was so thrilled to help feed and hold Esmé and Trevor was so tickled that Brittany trusted him to hold her on his own. Alex lovingly entertained her siblings, even taking trips out to the car to get more 'supplies' so we could continue visiting after we ate. I love having such kind tender children to cherish. What a sweet blessing they are.

We came back to Houston to Madison's birthday party (another cousin) and the kids had a great time doing a Wii dance game. It was fun to have Ken's Aunt and cousins get to see Grace in full dance joy. She is such a character. Trevor shook is booty too and Alex was like her mother and a little too shy to dance in front of all those people. We had such an enjoyable time laughing and playing with Nicole, Willie and their family.

It has been a wonderful family day and I am looking forward to a good nights rest before I teach my first lesson in church tomorrow.
