The Texans Visit

We were so lucky to have Rich's brother Ron and his wife Danielle and their 5 little (and big) girls come to our home this summer. They came the end of July and planned on staying just 2 days if I remember right. There was no way that we could pack the last 4 years into 2 days so they extended their stay in Portland which we were so grateful. We did tons of stuff and totally had a great time. They are welcome anytime. Brianne loved being a mother to Jessi, Tiffany just loved Uncle Rich and the 3 older girls were the best helpers in the world!!! Cooking dinner, babysitting, clean up, entertaining, etc. They are the 5 most amazing girls I've ever seen. Ron and Danielle are great parents. We wish that we could see each other more often. During their visit, we...
