June 15-26, 2025: Sam's family visit from San Antonio TX

Sunday, June 15th: Sam and his family made the long drive from San Antonio TX, stopped at Kiley's parents' house for a few hours, then settled in our home for their stay. They left on Saturday the 21st to spend a few days at a family's cabin in Colorado with Kevin and Dorine Kartchner and returned on Tuesday the 24th--the same day we picked up Mario and Milo at the airport for their 2-week stay! It was a BUSY month for us! Sam was scheduled to work the whole first week he was here, so we didn't get to spend as much time with him unfortunately. But the staff at Eye Associates really love him and want him to work there full-time when he's done with his commitment to the Air Force in four years. Sam also loves working at Eye Associates and looks forward to the big change in pace! Photos are not in exact order, as always.

Funny and talented guy!

Monday, June 16th: Sam leaves for work early in the morning in his dad's truck for Eye Associates. He worked the whole week during this visit.

Jacob's family had dinner with us and Sam's family at Dion's and then came over to play games and hang out

I love how well Eden plays with both Noah and Eli
