My Parents

My parents have visited us a few times in the past few weeks. Stationed in Houston just about 3 hours away. ( Dinner in the backyard because the weather has been sooo lovely the past 2 weeks!)
My dad has actually been living in Lagos, Nigeria for the past year. He came home for Tyler's baptism and when he comes he comes for a few weeks. He and my mom have been living on seperate continents. Not because they don't like each other, but because they made the decision to do this for a short time to each pursue things that they can't do in one or the other place. It isn't too weird to me, but most people that I tell this to think its pretty odd. My mom is currently the National President of American Mothers, Inc. and travels around the country at least once a month visiting local chapters. Her 2 year stint will be up in April, and she says she will join my dad in Nigeria then. We'll see:) My dad was going to work for just one year, but its turned into 2. He loves going to church there and being the minority and being immersed in the culture. It's always fun for my kids when they come to play.





I just loved this series of shots...the looks on their faces.
