A visit to Asheville

Bob's cousin, Gloria, came over to Asheville for a conference this past weekend. Since she lives on the beach, and Asheville is only 2 hours away, we made plans to go and meet up with her. We picked Bobby up from school a little early and the whole family made the trek together, which is always nice! Friday was GROSS!!! Cold, rainy and foggy, everything to make a ride ever so wonderful!! We met up with Gloria at the mall and decided to take a chance in the rain and walk around downtown, since I had never been before. It went well, until the rain really picked u pand by the time we stopped for dinner, all of us were pretty much soaked!! Great idea I had!!! We had a great time even through the rain. It was great to get to see Gloria and now she has a new "best friend", Bobby!! Hee!! And Amaryllis loved her too, especially since Gloria lugged that little thing all the way back to the car after dinner!! Thanks so much Gloria for a wonderful visit!!!

Labor Day Fun!

Bobby was off from school for labor day, which was kinda had for him to understand. It's Monday and he wasn't in school?? It was quite funny to see his face and watch him try to process that one in his mind! Even though he was off from school, I had to be at the coffee shop all day and Bob had some paper work that he needed to get done at the office. That meant the kids had to come with me until Daddy was done with his work. So, off to the coffee shop we went. I must say that I didn't realize that a Bumbo seat was made to put on top of your head, then hit yourself in the head numerous times, but apparently Bobby and amaryllis knew better then me!! Bobby crawled into the pack-n-play to help entertain his sister, and as you can see they had tons of fun!!!

Bob was finally able to get away just before 3pm and took the kids home for naps!!! They really needed it, especially Miss Cranky who was trying her best to stay awake for me at the shop!

After I got home from the coffee shop we went over Lisa and Gary's house. Bobby was checking out the progress of their tomatoes with Aunt Lisa. He also enjoyed running around in circles in the backyard! We had such a great time, but bed time soon approached and Amaryllis was so ready!!! Bobby, on the other hand, didn't want to leave, but because it was a school night he REALLY

had to go home and get to bed!

Bob headed back after the kids went to bed so that he could play poker with them. I don't play, plus 6:30am seems to come too quick!!!
