Clark Family Reunion 2013

My dad's mother was Carolyn Clark, and we had a reunion with her remaining sister, Betty.  Betty lives on Lake Amon G. Carter in Bowie, Tx, and it was the perfect setting for a reunion!

Great view!

We wish we could have stayed longer, but God willing, there's always next year!  Hopefully more cousins can join us!

First Mother's Day

I had a great first Mother's Day!  I had to work Saturday and Sunday night, but Ben made a delicious breakfast for Mammaw and me!  Bacon, eggs and chocolate chip pancakes, YUM!

Mammaw decided to come down for an impromptu visit as soon as she saw the video of Eli waving!  He is changing too fast, but getting so fun!

Thompson Cousins

My cousin Lana came for a visit with her twin boys, Neal and Mace.  They are 11 months old and lots of fun for Eli!  It was...interesting to say the least!  Luckily, Lana is a pro at this Mom thing and we had a great time!

Eli was a bit in shock when the rascals first arrived!

Mace had fun pushing Eli around!

They played really well together

Feeding time was interesting!

Being around the older boys really pushed Eli into some big-boy activities!  They clap for themselves, and after they left Eli has been experimenting with putting his hands together...no clap yet, but it's close!

We spent a lot of time outside enjoying the cool weather!

We had a great time and hope they can come visit again before Lana and Steve and Knox, Neal and Mace move to North Carolina for Steve's next assignment.  We are very proud and thankful of our Marines and their families!
