We headed off to VA this past week for some good ol’ G’amma, G’anddaddy, and Uncl’ Q’ntin time. We also crammed in a Beery Reunion, a Heatwole Reunion, the Fireman’s Parade in Bridgewater, and supper at (my) Grandma Lou’s. Phew. We had a great time, as always.
Granddaddy and the boys on the golf cart. Gabriel sure does love that G'anddaddy. He is G'anddaddy's faithful little helper, and got a mite forlorn when G'andaddy had to go somewhere without him.
The Fireman's Parade.
It got a little loud at times for Gabe. :)
Poor Israel was so sleepy!
The Beery Reunion. It was so green and beautiful I had to take a picture! There were 250 people there.
Auctioning off 5 of my Great-aunt Mary's quilts.
This is where you get to admire my cool new skirt and shoes. :) My shoes have a little bit of a platform heel and are very nice. And so is my Candie's skirt. Happy sigh. :)
Israel in his highchair. He loves the project of picking up food and putting it in his mouth. He is happy to practice his skills at any time you may suggest.
I had to include these legs for posterity.
And, oh fine, this one too. :) Also, this past week, at 9 months 1 week, in one night he went from crawling around in a set area to "so long, adieu, fair friends, I'm off to see the world!!" excursions. Since we got home this evening, he had to check out the office, the bedroom, the bathroom, and the dining room and all random items contained there-in. Life just got a little busier, I do believe...
Gabe climbed into Mom's lap and conked out last night.
Couldn't resist this picture.
Gabe burst into noisy tears this morning when I confirmed his lip-quivering inquiry as to whether we were going home. Grandma, however, had clever diversions in mind, and his tears dried quickly at the realization there was a goody-bag to be had. He could hardly wait to get into his carseat so that he could down his gummy-pizza. :) Sweetheart. G'amma saves the day!!!

Skirt duly admired. Shoes duly admired. Fat baby legs and cute overalls admired. Sleeping adorable boy admired. You are blessed. :) I have to say I'm very jealous of your VA time but glad you had fun too. It was good chatting! Candice
Carrie...very cute outfit, and adorable baby with very "squeezable" legs :). To answer your ?'s from previous post. . I still work occasionally, but lately I've been doing prn at a MD's office. 8-5 sure beats 7a-7p, but there are things about the hospital that I miss (and alot that I don't). Potty training is going quite well (I think). . a chart to put stickers on when he goes and "potty candy" of choice sure help :). Yesterday he came inside VERY wet after trying to go in the flower bed like his daddy let him do :). Gotta love boys!! Janice

I admire. You look very chic, and your boys look well fed. Glad you had a good time!
The Virginia pictures are great. I love the one of Gabe sleeping on Edith. I agree with Candice that seeing pictures of Virginia made me a little jealous. Miss you, Carmen
Candice - Well, it's ok that you're a little jealous of my VA time, because I'm a little jealous of you guys getting to experience a totally different culture with yummy food and super cheap medical care. :)
Janice - See, I like the 7a-7p, just to get everything over with in less days. Although what would be really cool is if I could work, like, 11a-3p twice a week and get paid for full-time... And, oh, yes, my son will occasionally pee in the potty but what he really likes to do is pee off the carport into the backyard and I for one did not teach him this. Scowl.
Joycie - You need to post some more pictures of your cutie patooties. I feel like I haven't seen them in a while!
Carmen - Miss you too. And, like I told Candice, help yourself to some VA jealousy, because I had this undeniable physical curl of envy in my stomach the other day as I was reading about you guys exploring the streets where you are. I would LOVE to come visit. Maybe when I win the Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes...I'm pretty sure the envelope said it was almost a certain thing... :)
