We had a lot of fun over the long weekend. We went down to the land where Michael's old house was where they grew up. They have about 80 acres there. Michael was wanting to pick the wild dewberries that grow out there. Unfortunately it was pretty rainy so I was in the truck most of the time with Andrew. He and his parents got a good amount of berries though...just perfect to make homemade dewberry jam - and boy is it good!!
Sunday we went to church and then went to see Michael's brother and his family and their new house. Then we went out to the pecan orchard for some more nice outside time and of course for Grandpa to take Joseph on an eagerly awaited tractor ride! So great to see them share something so fun and special! We then went and saw the cows but the new young bull was being a little too aggressive/confrontational for us (me especially) so we called it a day.
While we were there, Michael and his mom tried several new recipes to help find some things I can eat with my dairy free/soy free diet. They made a great homemade bread so Michael has now been making us homemade bread each week!
We had a great visit with Michael's parents and it was nice spending the long weekend with them. Joseph of course had a blast and Andrew did great and had lots of fun coo time with his grandparents!

So glad you guys had such a good weekend in Temple and out at the farm. I know it's fun for you guys to show the boys so much of Michael's life, the pecan farm, the river, the cows. And I know as the boys get bigger its going to be even more fun! Fun times!!
