Visiting SEBTS

July 27 2012

We drove over and visited the campus of SEBTS again.  Show the Mangrums' a little of Wake Forest and went to eat.  It was weird to think that Drew and Noah use to walk around together here just over a year ago.  

 It was even more strange to think we left when I was pregnant with Luke and that he had never been there.  I feel like it was yesterday.  

 It was definitely a wonderful place to live and I would love to move back it we were in that position one day again.  

 Luke splashing around.  

 Grady looking like he is having a blast. 

Picnic in the park in Chapel Hill

July 27 2012

We had a very hot picnic in the park on Saturday.  It was a hurried lunch and walk through the woods.  

 Ashley and Grady. 

 The boys.  

 Then Noah wanted in on the pic.

Lazy Morning

July 27 2012

We had a lazy morning in our PJ's and let the boys get to know one another.  

 They were most cuddly that way.  

 They play with Trains.

The Mangrum's

July 26 2012

My best friend, Ashley and her husband Ben welcomed us for two nights, in Chapel Hill.  It was so good to let them show us around their "neck of the woods."  

I miss this girl and wish we lived closer.  Just to do life together again.  

 Luke and Grady had a blast together and I loved seeing them interact with each other.  It was like they had their own secret one year old language.  

 My outgoing Luke.

 Precious Grady.

 The Dad's on duty.  

 Noah made friends with almost every kid in there.  

Next Leg of the Trip

July 25 2012

This time Luke is driving.  Just kidding.  But he sure did have a great ride at the outlet mall.  That's right, Drew let me stop and shop, and let the boys play.  SO sweet.  

After the mall we had one nap.  

 And some play time.  

 Then it was time for some grub.  Cracker Barrel that is.  I love their veggies.  

After lots of swimming at the hotel pool.  One little one year old named Luke jumping in the deep end by himself (at this moment all my 6 years of lifeguarding paid off), and Momma had to pull him off the bottom.  He came up grinning.  Lil Stinker.  

We settled in for some pizza and rest.  For the night.  

Out to Eat

 July 24 2012

Me and Tori.  We hardly ever see each other but when we do I just relish the conversations we have.  She's like a long lost sister.  

 Trying to get our brood together for a pic. 

 Finally a pic with all of us together.

Swimmin'

July 24 2012

Tori and I took Noah, Olivia, and Ella Grace to swim at my Uncle Mike and Aunt Vickie's house.  We had fun catching up with Tori as we watched them splash around.  

They were so sweet wait to swim. 

Ella Grace and Noah

Silly girl.  

Noah loved this floaty and it really helped him be confident in learning to kick.

Riding the horsey. 

Olivia bobbing around. 

 Poor Noah, Momma put his goggles on googly eyed.
