John, Sarah and Shepherd come to Kansas City!

This weekend John and Sarah were in town! I was really tired after this week and was so glad to know that we were going to get to relax with family. The last time that John and Sarah were in town was August 2008...I think. They were still just dating and not even engaged. For their visit this time they were not only married but they brought our precious, almost 1-year old nephew, Shepherd. They got in around 8:00 on Friday night and they quickly got Shepherd to sleep and we all hung out for a while. Saturday morning we went to one of our favorite places to take Kansas City guests...The Classic Cup! It was delicious.

After breakfast we took them down to the dental school to see David's personal work space.

The dental school was followed by Shepherd's nap time and a light lunch for us. After Shepherd woke up he was ready to go, so we headed up to the legends for shopping.

David and I played babysitter in Banana Republic so that John and Sarah could shop. Shepherd was all about David.

John and Sarah wanted to have dinner at The Cheesecake Factory, and we loved that place, so we were more than happy to take them there. Thanks Mike and Kathy for dinner! It was great!

After bath time that night Shepherd got some time getting to know Sooie. He thought she was wonderful and just loved laughing and looking from her to me to see if I was loving it as much as him. Sooie was not quite as excited about Shepherd. In fact, if you could see her face in this picture you might wonder if she even knew there was a baby being VERY excited in front of her.

It really was an amazing weekend. We don't get to spend that much time just John, Sarah, David and I and it was nice to just hang out. Shepherd was an angel and it was fun to have a baby in the house. Thanks for coming guys.

This is a big week in the Rainwater house. Please keep David in your prayers this week as he heads to Memphis to take the first part of this last test that he has to pass. Graduation is exactly three months from today and we're on the home stretch.
