Uncle Tee's Homecoming

This little missy decided it would be fun to take about a hundred different pictures of...

these little guys! (Her collection)

She also thought it'd be fun to snap a few unexpected pictures

of these guys and try and catch them off guard!

I'd say she was quite successful in her attempts!!
Oh, and don't worry, this smarty pants was sure to capture just what was taking so much of her daddy's attention... yes, that is sports center! I didn't have much of a say in the T.V. channel once the boys made their entrance! ;)

So by the time I finally remembered to grab my camera and take a few pictures of the special occasion, I realized I had zero memory left on my camera! (Thanks Swayz!)

(Hudson sporting the Madrid, Spain T-shirt Uncle Tee brought home for him, he tries wearing it every other day!)

Luckily, Paula and Bruce captured just about everything and were kind enough to send me everything that I missed.

It has been rather quiet around here since everyone left, we were sad to see them go!

We have sure missed the endless supply of delicious grub that Grandma J. and Paula made...

The surprise visits from family and friends... (We were lucky enough to get a visit from Great Grandma Read, Uncle Bob and Aunt Pam!)

The competitive rounds of Diminishing Bridge, and all the good wholesome company!

It was a blast, to say the least! The kids loved all of the fun activities we did and all the extra attention they received. The next week after everyone had left, Harbor woke up every morning asking where everyone was. Needless to say, she was a little disappointed when she realized it was just us!

We spent Mothers Day morning at the cemetery visiting Nate's grave, the weather was beautiful and there was a sweet, calm feeling there. It would have been perfect if O' and Rache could have made it.

We are sure glad to have Tee home from Madrid, Spain. We loved having him stay here with us for his first few weeks home. The kids picked right up where they left off with him and all the teasing and Harbor (who doesn't take to most people easily) has just latched right on to him. I think she asks for him more than me. Even though he's back in Missouri now, we still refer to the guest room as "Tee's Room" and I think that is the only reason why Harbor will actually sleep in there!
Justin has really lOVED having his brothers here in AZ with him, they went golfing the first week Tee came home and now (once again) my hubby has become obsessed! He is so good at it, I don't understand why he doesn't play more. He goes through phases where he'll go every weekend and then just completely quit for like years...we'll see how long this phase lasts. I'm hoping now that his brothers are around they will make plans to go on a monthly basis, this way I can justify a little shopping! ;) They also played some soccer on one of Justin's indoor soccer leagues and because it went so well, I'm pretty sure they have plans to start a team of their own in the near future.
