Ben and Lindsay to Houston -- Happy 4th!!!

Our wonderful friends, the Dykes, drove all the way from Charlotte to come visit us over 4th of July weekend. We LOVED seeing them again... I can't believe it's been almost a year since we moved to Texas, but it's amazing how that doesn't matter with good friendships - we felt like we were on vacation in our own home!! :o)

Happy (late) Fourth of July from Kate!
We went to a local park that we heard had a good fireworks display (there were actually many places in Houston that had fireworks - we're not used to having a choice!). We were able to lay out a blanket and they went off right over us!

Graham actually loved the fireworks and has been talking about them ever since... he sat in my lap and wanted me to cover his ears, though (Nat covered Kate's - they really were loud!). When it was all over, he didn't believe us - even after we got him back into his stroller.
We (of course) had to take them to Kemah one evening :o)

Kate was so patient in her stroller!
The Monday that they were here, Nat and Ben got a special treat from our friend Joe from church. Several members of our church work for NASA or a contractor of NASA so they were able to go on a great tour of Johnson Space Center!
Houston... we have a problem :o)
Euchre champions!

It was such a special time and we are thankful for such great friends -- we miss them already!!
