Special Time in Tupelo

We just got back from a wonderful trip to Tupelo, MS to visit our dear friends Mrs. Angie and Mr. Brad. They are expecting their first baby in January. After spending the weekend with them and watching them take such great care of the girls, we are certain that they will be excellent parents...and could even handle twins! :)

Brad reading Ansley her new book from Ms. Alice -THANK YOU!

Abigail loved flirting with Mr. Brad

Brad was great at feeding the girls!

Belle in Abigail's lap and Abigail in Mrs. Angie's lap!...and Beau was just making sure everyone was ok.

We enjoyed Brad's yummy cooking...he even made fried green tomatoes that were picked straight from the vine outside and some delicious grilled chicken legs! Daddy was in charge of the sweet tea, which is his specialty...if you like it extra sweet! Ansley liked to make sure that we had everything that we needed out of the cabinets. Poor Belle and Beau! The girls would chase them through the kitchen and wouldn't leave them alone the entire weekend!

We enjoyed special time with both of their families. Ms. Alice (Angie's mom) came over to play on Saturday and to watch the girls on Sunday while the adults went to lunch. Pappy (Angie's grandfather) came over to visit with us, and then we went to his house to also visit with Grandmother (Angie's grandmother). She gave each of the girls one of her special pillows that she makes. What a special gift! We also got to go visit with Brad's family for a little while.

We had bath time in the kitchen sink, which is always lots of fun!

After the girls were in bed, the boys enjoyed playing Nintendo Wii. Daddy decided he would try to be cute and challenge Mommy at tennis, baseball, and bowling. Let's just say that it wasn't as much fun as he thought! :)

Unfortunately, as we were leaving Dr. Brad (can we technically call you that yet?) noticed that Ansley was running a fever and her ear was looking like it was in the early stage of an infection. She looked pretty pitiful, but she was a great patient!

The girls enjoyed time on the hammock

Ansley also found her belly button while we were there!

Thank you Mrs. Angie and Mr. Brad for a wonderful weekend! We can't wait to make another trip to Tupelo! We love you!
