8-12-17 On this day, we traveled to San Angelo for Karis's wedding.  I didn't get any pics of the wedding itself but I did get some of Jacen playing and then we spent some time with Trey and Laura afterwards.  Kyle and I both had "adoptive" parents through Johnson Street Church of Christ when we went to college at ASU.  This was a great program the church did there. Karis was my "adoptive" sister (her parents are Bryan and Larisa), she was also the flower girl at our wedding, so we had to go!!!  Trey and Laura were Kyle's adoptive parents!  Trey taught Jacen to Yo-Yo and even gave him one of his Yo-Yo's!!

8-13-17 Taking a walk on Sunday evening!

8-14-17 When cleaning out the attic at the old house, we remembered there were 4 bins of Lionel trains that Trey had given to Kyle, so Jacen wanted to check it all out!!!

Justice likes that the windows go almost to the floor because he can see out!!!

We also spent some time packing Jacen's bag to go to Grandparents for a week.  Jacen's version of helping was chunking his stuffed animals from the top bunk over and over until they made it into the bag :)

That evening was our Bennett faculty back to school swim party at Preston Manor swimming pool!!
