Most of you prabably know that Sophia and Caleb are the only grands on my side of the family, but Tom's parents have quite the brood growing of grands! When Sophia was 5 they went from grandparents of 1 to grandparents of 5!! All within 3 months! Tom's two sisters and I were pregnant together and Renee had twins so they really multiplied the kids in the fam! Allyson, his youngest sister also has a one year old (Landon) so now we are six! This was a cute shot of the recent family get together. Renee and Bill came from NC to help set up the play set in Grammy and Grandaddy's backyard and enjoy the new pond that Grandaddy has been creating! It was a lot of fun and the cousins enjoyed spending time together! Sophia is always so worn out after looking after all of them, but she loves being the "Mother Hen"! Getting a good picture with all of them is almost impossible...if only Landon had been in this one it would have been just perfect....next time!
We went to the beach for a mini vacation last week. It was so much fun. The first night was not as wonderful as we planned but still fun. The power went out while Allyson and I WITH FIVE KIDS tried to make the best of it. Talk about a Hot night!! We were all out on the porch and all of the kids who were previously asleep woke up because it was so hot. The power was out from 8:30 to almost 2:00 AM. We sat on the porch drinking juice boxes. The next morning Allyson called me out to look at the porch. Remember all those late party night with beer cans and mess all over the house the next day?? Well, there must have been 25 juice boxes scattered out there. We just laughed at how our partying has changed!! The kids had a great time and no more power problems the rest of the week. Folly has got to be my favorite place in the world...It feels just like home.
