Family Time & Audrey's Birthday

We headed to Thomasville this weekend for Audrey's first birthday & to visit family. We stayed with my parents & enjoyed Mom's good cooking, rides with Papa on his motorcycle & of course Audrey's party. It was also wonderful enjoying my parents' patio with (gasp) no gnats! We're so used to it now in Mississippi that it feels strange to walk outside without insect repellant at the ready. Anyway, it was so much fun & afterwards we always say we'll get back more often. With school getting out soon, it might happen!

The kids cracked us up on rides with Papa, the helmet probably weighed more than Sophie. Ben insisted on helping tighten it for Sophie & making sure it was secure. What a sweet big brother. Mom & Dad enjoyed some one-on-one time while Rod & I slipped away to the gym. Getting to work out together is always a treat! We look forward to getting back.
