Last night LC and I picked up Mommy and Daddy at the airport all refreshed from their 10th anniversary vacation. They left for home this morning. See you at Christmas time.
ps I left out the part about the virus!
:) sounds like a wonderful time (except for the virus)
ReplyDeletecute shots!
I like that cream puff in the Krispy Kream hat. :^)
ReplyDeleteStevie, my favorite picture was you and the kids eating the birthday cake. That just looks like a delightful memory. Of course, you know I love the looks of the chocolate cake. You look so pretty. Let me know when you are coming back to Atl. trish

ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a wonderful week! I love the Krispy Kreme shots~they remind me of the ones we always take of our kiddos there. They love that place:)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun ... especially the donut cap for the itty Grand
ReplyDeleteMom, you know what this all means...you officially get the "Best Grandmother Ever" award. I mean it. You really out did yourself this past week. I know your grandchildren will have the best memories and stories about you (just like I do about your parents). Thanks for being so selfless this past week. I love you and so does the cream puff.
ReplyDeleteI love the mosaic. I need to figure out how to do that. Stevie, your love for being a mom and grandma inspire me. And I can tell you are well loved, too. :)
ReplyDeleteGosh, I had two little friends (ages 4 and 6) over for an afternoon of pool time and I am exhausted! It sounds like you had a wondeful time. I am sure the kids look forward to spending time with such a fun grandmother. Anna Louise sounds like a fun little character.
