Okay, so as I was saying.... We arrived late on the 8th and spent the night at Barbs. The next morning we woke up and had some yummy pancakes (and microwave bacon- who knew) and spent some quality time with my U. Barb, U. Bill and my Cousin Heath and his boys, Micheal and Zachary.I LOVE this picture of the boys is their matching shirts. The boys expressions say: funny, funny, what the .... This is why Mike and Wilson are laughing and Zach... puzzled.

Soon after breakfast we headed down toward G-town. On our way we stopped by my good friends' grandparents (The Payne's) to visit. (I hadn't seen Kari and Andy since Christmas and it had been a year since I had seen everyone else. )

L-R: Brian, Isaac, Alison, & Amelia , W & I, Andy, Kari & Reid, Erin, Jason & Brady. It was so great to see everyone, especially since there have been so many new additions! I wasn't feeling too well so I didn't love on the babies as much as I want too... At least I got to see them.

We have all been friends friends for a very long time. I have many memories of summer's spent at 4-H camp and at the Gallia Co. Fair with these lovely girls. I can even say that I've lived with each one of the them... and I still love them. (Even when their alarms go off for hours!!! ) Glad we could all get together. Sorry that it was so short.

After we left the Payne's we headed to Chris' parents to see all his family and luckily, Chris. Our time with C was short and sweet. He was able to fly in on Friday evening and flew out on Sunday morning. We made the best of our time. Chris' parents had family over that we hadn't seen since since Christmas and some even longer (I think it had been a year since we saw his Grandparents). I don't have any pictures to post from his house (I have to get them from his mom) but I must say that dinner was WONDERFUL and we are so thankful to have been able to catch up with so many.
