Waco Getaway

This weekend we headed north to Waco to visit our good friends Kristin and Jeff and their little girl Clara Beth. We met these wonderful friends when our little girls had open heart surgery. It was hard imagining that at one point these two girls laid side by side in ICU together and now they are running around together. Amazing where life takes you.

As much as I pray that no one else ever has to experience what we experienced, it is nice knowing that we can call on each other when things get hard. They know exactly what we went through and still go through and vice versa. We were even swapping stories over dinner about how we use to feed our girls through feeding tubes and how we did not enjoy all that went into it, but now our girls eat like champs!! Much thanks to all that helped us get to where we are!


Taking Clara Beth for a spin in her stroller.


Rocking with daddy on the front porch. What a simple pleasure in life.


Clara Beth is wondering if they both fit in this.


Taking an afternoon dip.


Emma's turn to have a ride. Thanks for sharing your fancy red car, Clara Beth!

Emma took her first boat ride. She enjoyed everything but the life vest.
