Last weekend...

I'm finally getting up the photos from last weekend at Mimi and Pop Pops. It's been a long time since we spent much quality time with our darling nieces, Olivia, FaithLyn, and Elise, or our strapping nephew, Judson. They were so much fun! They are sweet, happy children who handle being flown across the country without their parents extraordinarily well. Mimi is of the "no guts, no glory" school of grandparenting. Not only did she transport everyone back and forth from Texas, she planned activities, crafts, and meals for every day of the visit. Whew!

All 4 of the swimmers. Seth is getting ready to dump a bunch of water on himself and his hapless victim, Elise.

Judson and Seth are only 6 months apart. They may have beaten us to having kids, again, and again, and again, BUT, we had the first boy, even if it was by only 6 months! =) These two are almost the same size, and Judson was kicking Seth's pants in the motor skills department until this week. I think he is very close to pulling up all the way...

Pop Pop got to celebrate his 60th birthday with all his grandchildren (the reason for all of Mimi's maneuvering to get them to VA.) They all decorated his cake. Faithlyn started them off, writing "Pop Pop" in her designated food coloring color. The decorating got progressively more eclectic after that. Even Seth got a color, though he was a bit wary of the whole business.
