Family Visit

I have been absolutely terrible at blogging these last two months...going to try to get back on top of it!

My parents, Granny and my mom's sisters (Becky, aka Aunt Honey, and Debbie, aka Aunt Mimi) came for a visit on September 2. More fam was coming to town so it was a reunion of sorts!

Here are the sisters looking at stuff online...it wasn't anything crazy, promise!

 

 We had a good time while they were here...we went to the beach, ate a lot, relaxed. A kid stayed home from doing school supply shopping, while the other joined me (kind of a nice thing occasionally to be with one babe!). One day I had gone somewhere (maybe school supply shopping) and another group left for the beach (maybe) and Gran stayed at my house. When I got back I found this note on the counter in case Gran needed something...

 Super funny because it wasn't my dad's number! ha! I won't say who wrote it, though!

On Friday night, all the grandmammas had a sleepover at Linda's house (bear with me for the family tree here - Linda, Bonnie, Dixie and Sewanee's (who was not in attendance) dad was Gran's brother). Gran's sister's daughter, Sandra, and DIL Patty, also joined them.

 Like the rest of the week, I think they talked a lot and ate some yummy things...and stayed up past their bedtimes. Shame, shame!

They came home the next night, and Major introduced Granny to Angry Birds! Here she is playing a few rounds on my iPhone!

On August 5 we went to Bonnie and John's. The kids started out eating and playing in the hot tub (minus the hot).

This is mom and Becky on 8/6.

And on August 8th we hosted a shrimp boil at our house. Wouldn't you know it poured when we started cooking, like as in a flood! No problems with the food, though. It was absolutely delicious. Shout out to the Lamberts for giving us the play-by-play! I think there were about fifteen of us for dinner that night and so much food left! We didn't  mind the leftovers...we handled them quite nicely.

Everyone gathered around the table, stuffed!

It was so nice to have lots of people around, sitting around the table eating and talking, seeing Gran play Angry Birds! We enjoy the company - so, if you are visiting Orlando, give us a call!
