Reason #1: Daddy was able to join us. Oh the happy babies in this house. Wes just wouldn't leave Daddy's arms. Greta kept whispering in his ear...Daddy, I'm so glad we're all together again as a family. Tender, wonderful stuff. Happily we'll all be re-united once again this Friday when he returns from his schoolwork in Chicago.
Reason #2: Granny & Gramps are still all sorts of fun. G&Granny (Nanny in Wessyspeak) with Greta in a dress Granny made for me when I was a girl. G with the turtle "Sarah" we found eating Granny's tomatoes. Greta learning to shuck corn. The grands on Gramps' belly post breakfast.
Reason #3: There is a lot of good food around this joint. And mommy doesn't have to cook it. Hey-O! HOMEMADE PEACH ICE CREAM. Oh peaches...
Reason #4: We've been able to connect with some more friends...who will even dress up with us or help us pick out a yummy scoop of ice cream. We went to the splashpad with the Potts girlies & then out to ice cream...Greta appears lost in ice cream world. We played dress up & went out on the boat with the Griggs' twosome. They participated in Greta's "ladybug play" and were quite the winning sports about it all.

Reason #5: Even when the grown-ups are talking, the little people seem to entertain each other. Wes discovers the swinging kitchen door. Wes & Greta play "walk the unicorn" (doesn't everyone love that game?).
Does it get any better than this?
Probably not. It is hard to top perfection.
Tomorrow we are packing up and heading back north. We'll have a really wonderfully busy week next week with VBS & Tyler's return to church and then we're taking off for just a few days with Ty's mom. Hang on friends, there will be more posts. But don't hold your breath for one in the next 2 weeks! ;)
We will miss our Granny & Gramps but are excited to see them again in August with the cousins to boot! If we missed you this time around Florence folks, we'll be back for the holidays!
