Surprise Visit...


Abigail's visit with
Grandmother & Tommy


As you can see, we had a surprise visit from Justin's Grandmother and her husband Tommy. They were on vacation in South Carolina and called us late Thursday night to see if they could stop in on Friday. We were so glad to see them! Plus, Abigail was able to meet her Great-Grandmother and her Great-Tommy for the first time. Although the visit wore her out (she slept most of the time), she woke up just in time to get some great pictures and see them off.

All the faces of Abigail





Abigail is starting to interact with us more and more each day. Not to mention, she is becoming more fond of the camera. How many cute faces can a two and a half month old have? This week the weather has been so beautiful. Justin and I took Abigail to a park not far from our house to stroll on Thursday afternoon. I think it is going to be a regular spot for us. Justin has been quite busy with school and work, but next week is fall break. So...we are off to Williamsburg, VA. Our dear friends, Nathan and Andi, have talked about Williamsburg so much that we finally decided we had to go and see what the fuss is all about. It will be a great opportunity for us to get away, and for Justin to relax. Matt and Sarah Roger's, a couple from our small group that has moved to South Carolina, were in town this weekend. We had a reunion, of sorts, for them on Friday night so that we could all catch up. It was so good to see them. It has been difficult to watch so many of our friends graduate and leave Wake Forest. I can't believe that Justin and I will be crossing that bridge in a couple of months after he graduates in May. It's hard to believe that we have been here for three years. What a sweet season it has been. To all of the faithful Wake Forest readers - you guys are truly a blessing to Justin and I. Thanks for being our "home away from home." Justin is playing his last season of intermural football. Their team is undefeated. Abigail and I get to spend our Saturday mornings cheering on "dad" in the family cheering section. (Although, this past Saturday she was dressed in the opposing teams colors.) The cheering section used to be wives only, but just since last fall we have added four new fans - Abigail, Emma Claire, Leah and Boone. (There are three more on the way! There has to be something in the water.) Lastly, Justin will be preaching at our church this Sunday. I know he would covet your prayers over the next few days as he prepares. We will share a link to the church's website in our next post if you would like to get on and listen. We love you guys and miss you all.

Jackey-I remember very clearly how many different faces Georgia made at 2-3 months, and how I kept taking pictures to catch ALL of them! NOW Georgia sees the camera and tries to take it from me...she thinks it is a toy just for her, and I have probably built up her vanity just a little bit with all the pictures;-) I currently take tons of pictures just trying to get her to slow down for one; a crawling 11month old has no time for posing! Hope all is going well with you.
