We had a nice visit from my old college roomie and her husband and son. Josh is a US Marshall and had genuine handcuffs on him (along with a badge and a gun) and Garrett played the bad guy.
Okay, to explain this picture.... We visited Mount Vernon with Josh and Leana and this little fella is the main attraction as you walk in. I happened to have a McDonald french fry in my purse and he is munching on it. Super funny.
Josh, Leana, and Will Wright. What a beautiful family!
This is what Garrett and Abbey were interested in at George Washington's House.
Eating eggs Benedict for breakfast. Surprisingly my kids like that as long as it doesn't have the hollindaise sauce on top, which would make it an egg on an english muffin with some ham lol.
My awesome boy. I am so proud of his swim progress. He has so much courage. He passed the guppies class in swim and is now officially a seal. He is doing well but considering there are 5 boys and 1 girl in his class he does a lot of goofing off. I guess it is all part of being a boy.
The boys just having a little fun on our porch. Garrett is way to heavy to be carting around in that thing. It is for our tiny Abbey.
Happy Belated 4th of July. We had a BBQ dinner and Nathan's Aunt Gen came down for the day. Then that evening we went to Quantico to see the base fireworks. Garrett was very excited about our little home fireworks. He could have lived without the big ones this year.
Mommy Jo's Blueberries in the Snow recipe. It turned out very yummy!
Garrett and his new Best Buddy Quaid. Quaid and he will be going to the same pre-school, but different classes since Quaid is already 4.
Notice the cup full of food. This is where she sometimes tries to hide her leftovers. I never have to worry about her not eating enough. She is my super eater.
I want to wish Nathan's Brother Tyler good "skill" this weekend. We are traveling down to Greensboro, NC to watch him compete in the Junior Olympics in hurdles. Nathan and I are both so proud of Tyler. He is not like the typical teenager. He has Type 1 diabetes and when faced with that hurdle in life he chose to accept it and make it part of his life and not let it take over his. He amazes me in all that he accomplishes and I know it is twice as hard in his situation. We love you Tyler and can't wait to see you compete this weekend.
We are also going to be seeing Nathan's Mom, Step Dad, Mommy Jo and Papa Jay (his Grandparents) this weekend. It is going to be a busy, but fun filled mini vacation. Then they are heading up here to Stafford to see our new home and visit with Nathan a little more before snatching my Garrett and running back to Texas with him. Garrett is so excited to go with Nona to Texas. I know he is going to be a bit spoiled on that trip!
Finally August 13-20 Abbey and I are flying down to Texas to pick up Garrett and visit with my family. Please keep my Dad in your prayers. His age is finally catching up with him and his back is causing him tremendous pain when he walks. He asked God for another 10 years on his Birthday this year and I hope that God will grant him that, though I believe it is wishful thinking. He has already lived well past the average lifespan which I am so very thankful for. I love you Dad!
Gods Blessings and Goodnight
