An Aunt and Uncle Visit



Saturday morning Nick had his last baseball game of the 2013 Spring season.  Able Forces Warriors had another undefeated season - 2nd undefeated season in a row!  It was a beautiful sunny morning for a baseball game. 

The real fun started when we headed down 522S towards Orange,VA to meet up with Uncle David and Aunt Trena for the afternoon!  After some searching and a phone call to the visitor's center, we found a small playground and had a lovely time.  Nick and Uncle David played football, and a friendly game of kickball-basketball.  For the record, Nick won, but David put up a good challenge.  And, Nick commented that Uncle David is a pretty good basketball player.  Lauren played on the swings and monkey bars.  We chatted for several hours.  Then we headed over to the Silk Mill Grill for steak lunches.  Thank you Aunt Trena and Uncle David for a wonderful visit.  We enjoyed it so much!

Unfortunately, Ryan came down with a bug, and went straight to bed after baseball and lunch on Saturday, so he missed our visit to Orange, VA.  He was better Sunday and able to enjoy a Father's Day full of love, cards, pork BBQ, and Nascar - all at his request.  I've been saying little prayers that the rest of us stay healthy and bug-free.  So far they've been answered!

This week the kids have swim lessons and Vacation Bible School each day.  Monday morning I dropped the kids with Grandaddy for the week.  Grandma volunteered to help with the activities, and for that I am very thankful.  We are extremely blessed to have helpful Grandparents and their willingness to spend the week with the kids.  Nick and Lauren were excited to spend 4 nights away, and when I asked if they would miss me, Lauren said, "No mommy because you will call us everyday."  She's right.  I've called daily, I miss them bunches, and look forward to seeing them Friday.  It also helps to know they are in the best of hands with Grandma and Grandaddy.
