Today was so wonderful. We had the family gathering that we all talked about when Barry was in the NICU at Medical City Dallas. Barry's mom was so helpful at maintaining order in the kitchen and directing everyone to where we keep things in our cluttered kitchen. Ron was busy grilling is famous bbq wings. Christy, Jill and Kellie brought over all kinds of snacks with all the trimmings and the best chocolate cake I have ever eaten. Dennis brought an awesome smoked turkey. Bryan and Rachel followed Lily B around as she explored our house and kept Duchess and Trixie entertained. Brad and Courtney shadowed their adorable son, Christian, who was wearing the cutest hat. Brea, Jim, Rachel, Jed, Lexi, Papa Chris and I enjoyed watching all of the babies entertaining us. We saw a flash of Brody every now and then when he would stop for a drink or a bite to eat. Brant, Alec and Jacob kept Bryce entertained on the trampoline in the back yard or playing video games. It was a great day. Aloha Cheesy and Rusty... I hope you are having fun! We miss you.
Barry shared a tear filled thank you to the family before they left. As we all placed a hand on Barry, our heads bowed and Jerry said a beautiful, inspirational prayer.
I miss you guys so much! I really wish I could have been there
