Grandma and Grandpa Come to Visit

Charlie 10 weeks old.

Grandma slices tomatoes for BLTs.

Grandpa and Charlie are buddies too.

I can't believe Grandma and Grandpa have already been here and gone! We were so lucky to have them stay for 10 days. Paul and I got to go out on a couple of far over-due dates and have some alone 'adult' time. Grandma and Grandpa took the little ones and I out for some local sightseeing. There is so much history here. We went to Bethania and checked out the first planned Moravian settlement. The gals there were so super-nice to Aden and Andrew; they had a great time. We also got to tour the Kernersville landmark, Kerner's Folly. Very interesting house, I hope they are able to restore it like they plan. Of course we also kept them busy with a few around the house chores/projects. We are never short on those! We also checked out the Farmer's Market and they got to go on one of my garage saling ventures.

We really enjoyed having them and are looking forward to our next visitors!

Summer Cuts

The boys finally got their summer haircuts. I don't know why haircuts make them look so much older...

We have already had our first visitors, Aunt Sherill, Nanna, and cousin Elizabeth. With the extra adult there has been lots of adventuring happening. One of our favorite short excursions is a jeep ride around our subdivision. We love to pretend a giant lives in the house at the end of the cul de sac and look for birds and butterflies.

Aunt Sherill provided the much needed elbow grease to fix up my garage sale 'dinette'.

I think they turned out great! Thanks Sherill!

Elizabeth and Charlie hit it right off.

Charlie is growing so fast and getting so big. He is up to 15 1/2 lbs. The boys were about 4 months old before they got there. Of course they didn't have 2 big brothers to catch up to either.

He is a great baby. Very easy to get along with. However, he still has his moments. I think he's cute when he's mad...

Everyone is doing well and adjusting to the new environment. Aden and Andrew still sometimes want the old house and to 'go home'. Also we routinely "need" Grandma, Grandpa, Nanna, Aunt Judy, my Jay Paul, my Jakey.... well you get the picture. They do miss all of their buddies.

Here's a picture of the house from our driveway. The neighborhood is great and we have potential babysitters across the street.... a 12 and 14 yr old sister team... I just need to go over and ask what they charge (-:

North Carolina is great so far and visitors are always welcome. We love having company and are always sad when they go. Grandma and Grandpa are next and the excitement is building...
