Family Photos and Doug and Vanessa

About two weeks ago, Doug and Vanessa came for a visit. We had a great time. We did a lot of cooking and eating. We also took a field trip to the Padre Hotel to check out the remodel. It was great. Ryan saw the old telephone switchboard there and decided he would like to operate one some day. We had a painfully long discussion about how that technology is now obsolete and that wouldn't be a job he could have. Poor guy.

Ryan misses his Aunt and Uncle so much that he thinks we should all buy houses next door to each other so we can all be closer. (His original idea was that we all live in the same house.) Anyway, while Doug and Vanessa were here, we took some family photos, courtesy of my friend, Lorie. Here are some of my favorites. (No thanks to blogger. Uploading these has taken me 2 days).
