Speakman 5: albuquerque trip

first off, i have to admit this will be a lame post. we forgot our camera almost every time we went out. there aren't pictures of our great family and we don't have pictures of all the friends we had the privilege of seeing. so sorry everyone. we had a great time visiting home. the relationships and support we have at home are what keep us going and encourage us when we start to feel lonely. love you all.

the first day of our trip we met our nana and aunt pokey for lunch and a movie (it's really courtney, but if we call her that the girls don't know who we're talking about, so i guess she's stuck with the nickname). while we were waiting for the movie i thought it would be nice to get the girls' ears pierced. it's something they've been asking to do, but i kept putting it off. since i had two other adults with me for moral support, i thought this would be as good a time as any to finally do it. their aunt took these pictures while i held hands with each of the girls. no one shed even one tear.

one of the girls favorite places is hinkle family fun center, but they know it as hinkley. we popped in for a round of miniature golf. i have to say, i don't think there's a tiger woods in our bunch.

the best part of going home is seeing friends and family. the only thing the girls have complained about since we moved is missing our loved ones. it was so refreshing and refueling to see everyone.
