Well my daughter's off back to Texas as of yesterday. It was hard to see her go but I'm hoping to go visit during the spring break when her littlest brother is out of school for 10 days. Also Kate will be back up here later in the year when Luke (my oldest son) graduates from high school so it won't be so very long until I see her again. Here's some pictures I shot during her visit.

Kate and me.....


Kate and my husband, Mike (her step-dad and it's soooo cute how they bond over the whole army thing, though my husband will complain that I used "cute" and "army" in the same sentence here LOL)....


Our family - me, Mike, Beth (age 15), Michael (age 7), Kate (age 21), and Luke (age 17).....
