Special Visit

Though the circumstances which brought him to Texas for a visit were certainly not ideal, we were happy and grateful for the time we got to spend with such a dear friend! Our modern-day nomad, fly fishing guide, true wilderness man, soon-to-be nurse, life-long friend, known affectionately now as "Uncle" Garrett, came to town to help out his sweet mother, Mama Faye, during her recovery after heart surgery. A little bit about our Mama Faye ...she is one special lady who loves my children like they were her own grandchildren and has so graciously helped out with Hudson and the twins.....so we are truly thankful that her recovery is going well and are so ready for her to be, as Hudson would say, "all better"! As for Garrett, normally, we get to see him a couple times of year, mostly by surprise, as he hasn't really embraced the use of technology including the phone...so it was always fun to come home from work to find Garrett and Drake (the adorable dog) on the porch waiting to hang out and reminisce upon old times and his latest adventures. Needless to say this "bonus" visit so to speak was nice and thankfully Mama Faye is cruising along in her recovery process like a champ. She was even up for an evening and dinner amidst the craziness at the Bird House!

A gathering with the Sullivans would not be complete without pictures...

 Yes, Hudson sweet-talked Mama Faye into playing on the floor in his "office"

 Really...how long do we have to sit here...
 Uh Oh...
 So Sweet!
 Love him!
