Love Visits from Family!

Last weekend we had a wonderful time visiting with our niece, Sarah, and her family, who drove over from near Charlotte. It is so sweet to see the little cousins having such a great time with each other as they play, and the adults had a great time too. Here are Natalie, Addyson and Nathan sitting at the island showing us they want ice cream if they finish their dinner. Who doesn't love colored ice cream cones?




 Jaxon, David and Tara


Little Jaxon has to wear a "cranial band" for a few more weeks to help re-shape his head, due to the position he was in during the last weeks of Sarah's pregnancy. He looks like a rough and tumble football player (at 8 months, he weighs as much as Samuel who is two!).

After dinner, we headed outside. Uncle Nick becomes real popular with the kiddos when he volunteers to get his hammock out!





 Cousin Addyson!

Samuel says, "Hey Uncle Nick, what about me?"

 Tara and Sarah


 Gigi and Jaxon (great grandchild #9!)


Gotta love them in Carolina Blue! 


 Jaxon and his Daddy, David

Look what we found in our bluebird house! We are so excited to see these little ones hatch and be cared for by their mommy and daddy.


Gigi is known for her little jar of M&Ms, so here are her 5 little birdies being fed their treats!



Here are a few other special moments...Gigi reading a bedtime bible story, Grandpa reading, and Nick with Jaxon. Hated to see them leave, but always love the memories of special times with family!

  2. It was a super fun weekend, Larissa! We hadn't seen Sarah and family since Christmas, so I couldn't wait for them to get here. It brought such joy to my heart to see the cousins playing so well together and to watch Jaxon crawling for the first time. Oh how I love it when I get to watch my family enjoying being together! Thank you, Linda for posting this blog.
