Family time

Since Rick is in Chi-town all week with our student spring break trip to the inner city, I figured I would go visit my parents in St.Simons because  Gainesville was going to be a ghost town.  If you know me, which hopefully you do if you are reading my blog, but to those of you who just reading some random girl's blog then let me tell you, I would die from a week with no interaction with people. So I headed the 2.5 hours north to one of my favorite places on earth- St. Simons Island. 

Upon hearing of my visit, my sister Heather decided to bring her crew down to visit as well so we could all hang out and turn my parents house into a three ring circus. She and her husband have 3 boys- Elijah is 4, knox is 13 months, and william is 7 months. I know if you are doing the math you might be confused...Elijah is adopted from Russia, Knox was adopted domestically and William was their surprise. Sadly, Heather and their crew had to head home early due to Knox getting sick with an upper respiratory infection and they also think  he has asthma.  Please pray for little knoxie. Last year he was diagnosed with minigitis and had to have brain surgery when he was just four months old. We didn't think he would make it but he did!! However, now he has had so many health problems. Please pray that the Lord would heal poor little knox.

So now its just me, reagan, fenway and the rents! It looks like it will be a pretty relaxing week. I am excited. However, I am not excited about all the things I have been putting off to do for this week- like my taxes....good times. Oh well.

here are a few pics from our time so far:


Fenway and I driving up to St. Simons

Fenway likes to keep his head out the window most of the trip


Pops (my dad) and Reagan

The cousins meet. Willie was a little grabby but Gigi (my  mom) and my sister had it under control.

Sweet Knoxie had a blast on the swing! 
Gigi just loves holding her grandchildren.


 Pops with the kids.... (Knox not pictured)

After all her cousins left, Reagan was forced to play with Fenway instead. 
My sister's cleaning lady made this cute tutu and hair band for Reagan. I love it! 

Well stay posted for more posts coming soon. I have a week of not a lot to do in front of me. 
Thanks for reading!
