May

We had a fun May. Most days' highs were in the low to mid-70's, and we're really missing that now! It's finally creeping up into the upper 80's and even the 90's this week. I know most of you have been experiencing temperatures like this for a couple of months now, so I'm not complaining.

Our month was full of fun visits. Lela came to stay a few nights before going to China for two weeks. We always enjoy some Lela time. :) Somehow, we didn't really take pictures with our camera for that visit. The plan usually is to glean some good pics from Lela, but we have yet to get around to that. Here's a cute one just for kicks:
Then my best friend from high school, Marilyn, flew up for a visit to meet Wesley during her vacation. Wesley was a fan, and I think it's safe to say Marilyn felt the same way. I'm not sure those chubby little cheeks have ever been kissed so many times in such a small stretch! Marilyn was kind enough to take a few family shots. Wesley was only interested in the ground/flowers, so, in order to get his eyes open she went for the worm's-eye view.We also got to take a four day trip to Texas near the end of May. We flew for the second time with Wesley, and he did quite well. I've been a little nervous about the whole experience both times we have flown, but Wesley has been an amazing little guy on the plane. Wesley got to see both great-grandmothers again. Again, I think there was a mutual admiration. Mimi came up from Austin to Abilene for a visit which we very much appreciate. It's just too hard to try to make all the stops for a quality Texas trip and still enjoy the time there. Thanks, Mimi! And thanks to Lela for accompanying her on the way down. We did drive to Levelland to visit Grandma. She is in an assisted living facility now, and Wesley put on quite a show for all of the residents there. We stayed with my Aunt Carol and Uncle Stan and got to experience the game Mexican Train...very fun! We went ahead and bought our own set of dominoes and played the next night with mine and John Mark's parents and Lela.
I thought this was a cute picture of Wesley with my Aunt Marla.

We also enjoyed a visit from John Mark's parents who drove from Wichita Falls, and we stayed with my parents for most of the trip. We had a wonderful time with them, but somehow didn't get many good pictures with the grandparents! We'll work on that when they hopefully come up to see us this summer. Thanks to you guys for coming to see us/putting us up at your house!
