uncle ben and aunt shauna

first of all, i apologize for the lack of blogging lately.  to be honest, i never really have time to even get on the computer during the week, and if the weekend are busy....well, that's how i got here.

anyway, a few weeks ago we were so excited to welcome ben and shauna to houston and introduce them to brendan.  this is the first time they have visited us here in houston so we treated them to all of our favorite restaurants and took in all of our time together during their 48 hour visit.  for those of you who do not know, ben was actually my boss in college, shauna was one of the women who invested in me in college and became a dear friend in the process, and i babysat elijah and sam long before lee and i were together.  we find it very special that we are all now family.

we ate far too much good food and shared way too many laughs to stop and take many pictures but here are a few.  brendan had a blast with his uncle ben and aunt shauna and cannot wait to meet his three cousins at christmas.  in fact, brendan was quite mesmerized with shauna as you can see by some of the smiles she caught on camera.

ben & shauna had trouble saying good-bye so they tried to take brendan with them :)
