Savannah and Isaiah on our picnic table. This is the table we sat on when we were on project in Louisville back in 2002 when Tom first told me he was interested in pursuing a relationship with me.....
Well 9 years, a few babies and several moves later here we are!
We miss Louisville a lot...
Then we headed to Tom's parent's for Cousin Fest 2011. Both of Tom's brothers and their families came to his parents house for the long Labor Day weekend and we had a great time seeing everyone. We haven't seen Dave and Jackie and their son Ben in a year. Yikes! Grandma and Grandpa had a great time as well. I didn't take any pictures at all the whole weekend!........ Wait don't panic, Grandma, Andrea and Jackie made up for it with over 700 pictures. These are all their's I borrowed!
Jim, Joshua and Grandma
Grandpa showing everyone his deer antlers. One of my favorite questions from Savannah came the first night when she asked why Grandpa didn't like deer. She assumed that since grandpa shoots deer he must not like them. I let Granpa handle the response to those questions!
Joshua and Isaiah are about 6 months apart (Isaiah being older) and they got along really well. I see a great friendship in the future!
Enjoying the nice weather, it was nice to experience fall for a few days
The boys laughing and playing in their closets. We found out a few minutes later that apparently they decided that the closets were their poop spots as they had both gone in there to fill their diapers at the same time. Hillarious!
Grandpa, Savannah and Joshua
Joshua jamming on the drums at church.
Jackie, Ben and Dave
This was while we were praying for our cookout dinner, so cute!
Before we left for Indiana I asked Savannah if there was anything she wanted to eat special at grandma and grandpa's house. Her response was hotdogs and marshmellows. We had a cookout last year on Grandpa's new fire pit so I think this is now a yearly tradition!
The kids loved the tractor/train rides from Grandpa
We all headed to the zoo monday and had a great time. Savannah even fed the giraffe!
Our not so successful attempt at a group cousin shot. Savannah was trying so hard to get them to be happy. Maybe next year....
Not much better
The Stephens family Sept. 2011
Isaiah was so happy at Grandma and Granpas that he didn't nap much. This is the result. Asleep at the table as we all sat and ate around him. I thought it was so funny.
On the way back home we stopped in Asheville, NC and spent some time with Tom's cousin Tina and her husband Dave. I DID get a picture with them! Well, that's progress right!!!!!
We had a great trip and it has taken a few days to gather ourselves at home. We came home to a super busy Sunday for all of us at church and jumped right back into the week! It was lots of fun to travel but good to be home as well. I guess I should unpack now huh??
