Memories to hold...

Well, I have been wanting to blog about my sister's visit to Texas for some time.  However, I didn't take any pictures on my camera.  She has a fancy camera that she took everywhere and took a ton of snap shots.  Now that I have them on my computer I can finally share our special moments!!!

Michelle and her family came in the beginning part of October for ten days.  I was somewhat shocked how well her island kids adjusted to our Texas life- they loved it out here!  In fact, they didn't want to go back home, they wanted to leave their fabulous life in Hawaii for a country life!  JJ, her oldest fell in love with our animals and happily woke up everyday to help my mom feed her big 'ol 4 legged pets.  The kids couldn't get enough of Rockstar, the donkey, he is a sweet donkey that loves kids.  Of course Dylan, my mom's horse made a big impression on the kids...he's a big horse!  And to top it off the boys had freedom that they cherished....driving the golf cart whenever they pleased to and from my house to my parents house and all over the property.  As far as the girls, Hannah & Sachsa played so well.  They had some nasty moments, but that's to be expected with girls.

Michelle and I had a lot of catching up to do, which resulted into many late nights past 12 am!  I kept my little secret until I saw her to tell her that I'm pregnant.  She was shocked like all of us, but of course was ecstatic.  We reminisced about the last time she visited was nearly two years ago when Lulu was born and a couple months before that she came with her family to visit.  Her visit was a great one and much needed for the both of us to re-connect and to share special moments.
