Congrats Uncle Marcus & Happy Birthday Grammy and Jackie

Last weekend was very busy. On Friday night we went to the church to help with the Packs and Pencils organization night. Basically we got to set up back packs and school supplies for kids. It was a great night to spend with our Christian brothers and sisters getting things ready to help out some kids that needed school supplies. We heard that Saturday went great! The church gave away over 350 back packs and hopefully opened a lot of doors for God to work through.
Thanks Matt and Jennifer for all you did for this effort along with everyone else. Thanks Grammy for coming to hang out with Makena while Don and I worked!! She had a blast.

On Saturday, we got to spend time with the Carrolls and celebrate with Uncle Marcus. He graduated with his Masters in Information Systems from Tarleton. Congrats Uncle Marcus. I hope to steal some pics from Amanda to post of Makena and Uncle Marcus, since we did not get any. Don made some video but no pics. After a little pizza and cake, Don, Makena and I traveled back home to meet Granny and Papa. They stayed with us on Saturday night and we took them to the airport on Sunday after we all went to church. They were headed to Vegas for a little vacation.

This week has been exhausting. I am not sure if it is the short nights or crazy interrupted nights or both. Makena had a few nights of getting up once or twice a night. I also had a long day at work on Wednesday (13 hours or something). Don did a great job taking care of Makena. He fed her and put her to bed like an old pro! Yea Daddy!!!

Tonight I picked up Granny and Papa at the airport and then we went and picked up Makena from school. Makena was all smiles for a little while and then she fell into the milk coma. After dinner, Granny gave Makena a bath and then she headed to bed (makena that is). They will go home some time tomorrow. It was fabulous to have them.

Also we wanted to wish both GRAMMY and JACKIE a HAPPY BIRTHDAY tomorrow!!!
