Last week

Last week we had a housefull! My good friend Robin and her two kids James (almost 2) and Sam (almost 1) came to stay from Wed.-Sat. It was so much fun!! They moved from Pensacola to Atlanta in July and we've been lucky enough to see them at our lake house in Aug. and now this visit! Next we are due to go see them in Atlanta!

Cappy also came in town to join the craziness! She got here Thurs. and left yesterday (Monday). She took Bryce with her :( My parents have been wanting to take Bryce on a train ride from Memphis to New Orleans for about 2 years now and it finally worked out. He has a holiday from school Thurs. so he is only really missing 3 days of school for the trip. He spent last night in West Point with Kiki and Papaw Duke and is going up to Olive Branch this afternoon. They will ride down Thurs. and ride back Sat. staying in the French Quarter and doing lots of sightseeing on the 2 days they will be there. I miss my Bryce already and he's only been gone one day! I know he is going to have a blast though!

Sunday we drove to Montgomery to surprise my Grandpa for his 87th birthday. It is always so much fun seeing how excited he gets to see the kids. This visit, as usual, he paraded Bryce and CeCe up and down the halls of the nursing home to show them off to all of his friends! Most of them know my kids by name from all the pictures my Grandpa keeps in his room. My Aunt Sandra brought cupcakes for the occassion.

Last night as we were putting CeCe to bed she started throwing up. She ended up throwing up 4 times between 7 and 10 and then finally she was able to sleep. She woke up bright and early at 4:30 this morning, but has had a couple of good naps today. She had a nasty diaper earlier, but has kept down pedialyte, crackers and water today. She's definitely not feeling 100% but hopefully is on the mend. CeCe and I were supposed to drive to Huntsville to see my sister and her family today-Friday but had to cancel when she got sick. I'm so sad about it! We were looking forward to spending time with them and Blakeley, CeCe, Jasper and I were going to drive to Franklin, TN Thurs. to see my best friend Ashley and her new baby Samuel. I'm bummed we can't go and hopefully we can find another time to go up there.

Here are some pictures from last week:

Our friend Melinda and her two boys came over Friday night for supper. We had two WILD 4 year olds, a 2 year old and three 1 year olds running around. It was crazy, but fun!
