Well hellooooo Summer in Alabama.

After waiting patiently for summer to arrive in Minnesota, we flew south to experience REAL summer. Yay for sun and warm weather. Yay for fresh peaches and berries. Yay for grandparents to love on little people. Yay. We are halfway through our time here with Granny & Gramps and so far we have:

Visited with friends from college (mine, not G & W's):
Swam
Boated

Eaten fresh fruit- alot- enough to warrant a special mention and "special" diapers
Played at the Splash Pad (well...some of us "opted out")
Played dress up & kitty/doggie too many times to count
And Greta boo caught her first fish...appropriately....a catfish (she adores cats).
Visited Gramps at the Endo Unit (mom was remiss not to take THE NURSES picture...duh)
And just plain had some fun and good food!

We have had a great week. The extra-good news....we get to see our daddy tomorrow. He's been in class in Chicago for the last 2 weeks and gets to come for a quick visit for the holiday weekend. SQUEEEE! There will also be more of the above- fun in the water, fun with Granny and Gramps, good food & good times. Greta thinks we should set down our "yanker" and stay awhile (that's anchor for those that don't speak Gretalese). We'll have more pictures to share in a few more days!

PS. Wes' words since we arrived in AL: (had Mama, Dada, & Geeta before we arrived), doggie, tree, ball, boat, NeeNee (Granny), and more (with sign). He is adding a new word a day!
