Grandma and Grandpa Come to Visit

It's been a busy few weeks and so I hope I can get all this posted.

Since my sister was due to have a baby, and since we live so close now, Grandma and Grandpa Gibb came for a visit to see us until the baby was born. We had a great time. The first day wasn't much fun. It had been great weather for weeks and so I was expecting the best. The forecast was for rain but we thought we'd still be ok. We went out to Greensboro to see the Replacements store. If you haven't been, it's pretty impressive. You can read about it on their website. We all dressed in our comfy summer, great weather clothes only to find that after we had left home that the weather kept getting colder so the last week of May we had one day of 54 degree weather, just for one day, the day I let the kids get out of school to spend with Grandma and Grandpa, and it was a lousy 54 degrees. It doesn't sound that bad but when it is raining and windy and your baby is in shorts and no shoes, it's a little much. We did go to Panera Bread for lunch which is a fabulous sandwich place with fabulous bread. Grandma treated us to some of their Yummy bagels for breakfast the next day. The next day was BEAUTIFUL. We took them to Korner's Folly which is a CRAZY house out here that I think they enjoyed seeing. The girls love the narrow staircases and the playroom that the adults have to hunch over just to fit in the room.

This is grandma standing in the attic where they built a theater.

Here are three sweet girls waiting PATIENTLY for the adults to finish reading about everything we were looking at. Here's the babe, McKenna. Does she look happy or what. I tried to keep a smile on my face, it was a little difficult with her pulling my hair, not to mention she is getting a little heavier to carry each day.


After seeing the house we came home and played some baseball in the backyard. Here are some highlights from the game:

Grandpa trying to explain just where you are supposed to stand when you are up to bat. I don't watch much baseball but I think he should probably do that for some of the pros. Grandma moving like lightning to get that ball.Alexa watching the fly ball trying to decide if she should run. It probably was ok since Maya was the fielder.
Grandpa sacrificing his body just for a game. What a guy.
