Texas and Arkansas Trip

For the Memorial Day weekend we headed to Texas. We had planned on going to Arkansas but plans changed after we found out about our little friend in Texas who has been having some challenges with his leg healing. Nana and Poppa from AR were not happy so they insisted we leave the kids with them while we were gone. We met them in OK City on Friday, dropped off the kids and away Nathan and I went to Austin. We hadn't been together...just the two of us...in a long time. A much needed trip! Our main focus was to be with Eric and Heidi and help them for a few days. We stayed one night at Robert and Linda's which was so very wonderful...they are like a second family to me and I've always called Linda my O.M. (other mother). My mom and her were best of friends! Lots of good memories together. Saturday we made it to Eric and Heidi's. Tucker was to have surgery on Monday but was trying to enjoy the weekend by keeping active. We saw my grandparents, Aaron and Emily on Saturday night for dinner. We had a sit down elegant meal at their house...Jidgie always outdoes herself! Sunday we had a wonderful fellowship meeting, gospel meeting, and spent the evening at Heidi and Erics. Monday, Tucker had surgery and did pretty well. Nathan and I went to supper with my grandparents again along with Aaron and Emily to Cafe Blue...out on the lake. Very scrumptious. So nice to spend time with my grandparents...they are so very dear to me. Tuesday, we had lunch with Don and Jeannie and then Nathan left to fly back to NM. I had planned to stay a few more days to help out with Tucker. Tuesday night, Tucker got very sick and they had to move him to an intermediate ICU on Wednesday. Things were very rough for a couple of days and then he made a turn around. Friday night Tucker made it home...they released him early because he was done with being in the hospital...he'd been in the hospital about 60 days over his wound issue. He was one happy boy to be home....fell asleep around 8 and slept until morning! Big grins! Happy babies makes for happy parents....and friends! Saturday morning I left for AR. Hadn't seen my babies in over a week! I will miss my dear friends, the Waters! So glad it worked out for me to come and help...the timing couldn't of been more perfect!
