{Sister McQuay}

I'm so proud of Caitlan for choosing and having the courage and strength to go on a mission! The people of Colorado Springs, Colorado will be so blessed to have her there!

Caitlan's farewell talk was one of the best sacrament meeting talks I have ever heard. It was funny and personable and at the same time very spiritual. One minute everyone in the audience was laughing and the next they were all tearing up. She is such a spiritual giant.

Sean took these pictures of Caitlan when she visited us in Dallas

 

She'll be such a great missionary! I love her!

{Trip down to Houston}

During the last week/end of February we went down to Houston to visit with family and bid farewell to Caitlan. Our weekend consisted of:

Learning to play the guitar

Going to Rachel's New Beginnings

Playing with Georgie

Playing with Duplos

Having candy canes

Visiting with Grandparents that we haven't seen in nearly a year

Trying out nursery for the first time and rocking it

doing creative braiding parties

Honking Great Grandpa's nose

Kisses

Great Family Dinners

Playing with Caitlan's old make-up

Helping Caitlan pack

and giving Caitlan lots of love to hold her over for the nest 1.5 years!

{Visit from Caitlan}

Before Sean's little sister left on her mission, Caitlan came and spent a weekend with us. It was awesome!

While she was here we went to the new Perot Museum and it was lovely! It reminded us of when we went to the Field Museum in Chicago with her 2 years ago. 

Evette was a huge fan of the museum - especially the dinosaur part!

 

Their children section was amazing! We spent about 1.5 hr in the museum and then were able to do about another hour in the children's section.

  

And of course we ate delicious food. Hopdoddy's - our new favorite burger joint. So delicious. 

Evette is a fan of their fries and Grilled Cheese. We brought some orange slices so we could be healthy lol

 

We played games....

And just hung out.

It was a chill weekend but so much fun to spend time with Caitlan! Love that girl!

{Friday Five}

We rearranged the house a little bit - love it.

We got some sidewalk chalk and Evette loved it. We were playing with it forever!

Lunch date with Babbs. She loved this chicken taco at Torchy's Taco and scarfed the whole thing down.

 Miniature book club with dear friends and sweet babies.

 My new pair of kicks. LOVE THEM.
