"Just Katie" and shhh..Grandpa Martin's suprise visit!!

This past weekend Aunt "Just Katie" flew down from Chicago to meet Tommy, get her Texas fix, (she used to live in Austin and loved it), and as a suprise to her, Grandpa Martin flew in too. Just Katie flew in first and it was tough trying to keep quiet for about 24 hours until Marty flew in, but we did it and Tommy didn't tell either....

Here's Just Katie and Tommy posing...Katie is so great with kids and we were really excited to see her and for Tommy to meet her.
Getting ready to head out for our first "big night" out...

Grandpa Marty hanging with Tommy watching football. You can see and feel the love/admiration Marty has for Tommy, he won't put him down or take his eyes off of him-they had so much fun reading and walking and just hanging out. It was really nice to have so much time with Marty, we all really enjoyed it.

Last shot before Katie flew home with a suitcase full of Texas salsa and tortilla chips!!
Here's a link to the rest of the pictures. We're so lucky to have such amazing people in our family and that are willing to come down to south Texas to see us :)

Unfortunately those are all of the pictures I took...so fun to have friends who love dressing up! We had a fun time at the McLaughlin's house for a Halloween/Jack-Jack 2nd birthday party.
