More fun with family and surgery update

WARNING: Excessive number of family pictures ahead, so proceed with caution.

We were so thankful to get to visit with so many different family members over this past week on our whirlwind driving adventure through Oklahoma and Texas.  We drove up to Oklahoma for a couple of days, then headed to Dallas for a brief visit and then over to Greenville before heading home.  Anna got to meet more relatives and got plenty of attention!

Anna loves her cousin Taylor

It really is a shame no one pays attention to that poor baby...

Grandmother and Papaw with the grandkids

Aunt Kelly and Uncle Tony are hilarious!

Watching football - you can tell who the true Cowboys fan is...

Papaw and his girls

Here's Anna giving David a kiss - Whenever you tell Anna "kiss!" she leans her head forward...as in, "you may kiss my forehead now."

And what visit to Oklahoma would be complete without a chicken fried steak?!?

Back at home, Anna really enjoys her new silver cup from Grammy

Finally, for the surgery update: Anna was supposed to have her palate repair done today, but unfortunately she came down with a fever last night.  My poor mom had taken off work for the week to be able to help out while we were at the hospital, and I found out that the surgery was cancelled when Mom was about an hour away from here.  But we are so thankful to have her here for a visit, and I think Anna is secretly pleased she is not having surgery now!
