awwwwe… the sites & sounds of the hill country of Texas!
and the HEAT!
my word… it is dipping HOT!
there IS so much comfort in that gentle hum of those insects!
that wonderful sense of sound… sounds AND feels like HOME!
we OBVIOUSLY made it to the big state & have been having a BALL!
been loving EVERY minute of our visit & seeing our family!
a big thank you to my mama for making that LOOOONG drive with us…
when you get into the meat of the drive you realize…
“NO WAY could i do this trek on my own”!
i think we counted twelve stops on our second day…
absolutely none of us were on the same potty schedule! :)
we had perfect weather & made it safe & sound though… thank you Lord!
with the temps steady & OVER 100 degrees…
swimming & popsicles have been BIG on the agenda!
amazing just how many you CAN eat in a row!
heidi & hunter are always fun to see too!
poor hunter though…
gretel thinks she’s ALL THAT & chases him up the trees!
and look they had more BABIES!
they are SO cute… we were lucky to sneak a peak… cuz she keeps ‘em moving!
and i am happy to report…
we have a house!
the hunt is OVER! thank you Lord!
thank you for all your well wishes!
i have just loved hearing from you ALL!
we will be moving into our home in Wyoming July the 22nd!
oh…
i can not wait!
getting this and that in their new little spots… LOVE that!
SO love to settle into a new place & make it home!
big hugs to you all!
i really hope you are having a ball of a summer too!
be back tomorrow to share more of our adventure!

Yea! Glad to hear you're well! Your photos are incredible--such a gift. Thanks for sharing.
always love to see your posts.. photos are GREAT... love the swimming ones most (probably bc of the girls!) and the shot of the peacock from behind is stunning! :)
did i tell you i lived in tx? in the hill country? we cried upon arrival (i'm from the lush mountains), but then cried as we left, too, bc it was such an awesome life there!
and over 110F every day in the month of july in 1998!! :0
Can't wait to see how you make your new house your new HOME. Glad you are having a great time back in the Lone Star State. I think I can hear your girls giggling.
I am so glad you cannot photograph the actual heat. Because it isn't pretty. Ha! You are in my state now. It looks beautiful where you are. As always, I love your pictures. And congrats on the new home.
Soooo glad to see you make it safe and sound. The pictures are awesome...it makes me miss TX!
So glad to hear that you are having a blast in Texas! Visits with family are always the best! And so glad that you are posting again....I've missed seeing new pictures and reading updates! And congratulations on the new house in Wyoming. I know you are looking forward to getting settled again.

i am so glad you having a good time and that you have a house to go to when you are done. so much work to get there though.

It is so good to hear that you are good! Say hi to Texas for me! Be safe in all your travels!
Such fantastic photos. And you helped me feel excited about hearing cicadas again.
