Alas, no bread tree.

Ok, yesterday Brady mixed and baked unleavened bread in Sunday school. Sooo now he knows where bread comes from. ( as opposed to trying to grow the bread tree). He seemed very satisfied.
Miss you all

Well we are completely into growing things and springtime. Brady grew three beans in a cup that I am pretty sure were from the tale of the giant. So we transplanted them into a bin and wala! Brady's Garden was born. He is also taking a shot at growing peanuts. He is so proud.
We have also seen baby birds and rabbits around our house.
Our friends from NC, the Bullards, were here on vacation this week. We had some quality time with them and their son, Jacob. I babysat Jacob for 2.5 years before all of the therapy began. He is 6 now. He slept over and the boys were so cute together. Time apart didn't matter at all. And I got some good Jacob love. Jacob new thing is Star Wars, so Matt was instantly admired for his knowledge.
Last Weekend, Dustin came for a visit. It was so WONDERFUL to have him here. We went to Busch Gardens and rode all the rollercoasters. It was great. Just being with him makes me so so happy.
We are getting very excited for Jay and Jane to be here. Looking so forward to spending time with them.
Well that about catches up.
One more thing. Brady was scraping the seeds off of his hamburger bun the other night. I asked him if he didn't like the seeds. He said he did, but he was going to grow a bread tree!
I love it.

Colonial Williamsburg






















Hey there, We hit Colonial Williamsburg in a 100 degree heat index. But we made it long enough to see some very cool things. The actors are so engrossed into their roles and very knowledgable. It was a good experience. Not sure a 4 year old appreciates much yet, but we had a good time together.

Friends came to visit!!!






















LeeAnn, Thomas, and Andrew Lee, our across the street neighbors from Spartanburg, came and spent three days and three nights with us while Matt was in Atlanta. What a great feeling to have close friends near. We went to the pool, we went to the Yankee Candle outlet (where Santa spent one on one time with our boys) and downtown Williamsburg, and we spent 8 hours at Busch Gardens with all three kids. They were great. No problems, no meltdowns and no sunburns (except me).
I can't wait until our next round of company! Dustin is scheduled to come in two weeks, and then my in laws are coming with their moving truck and my brother for a moving trip/visit.I will post some pictures when LeeAnn sends them. She was much better than me about having the camera handy. Hope all of you are doing well. Mom is so much better. Thanks for your prayers.
