Grammy and PawPaw - catch-up post!

I have two more posts to do and then i'll be ready to post on our new adventures in North Carolina. Thanks for being patient! ***************************************************** Before we made the big move, we were fortunate enough to visit with Mike's family for one more week. And we made the most of it!

Christie and Joey came down for a weekend. So we went to the zoo. We left as early as possible because it was HOTTT!!!

Mike's parents retired in a condo on the lake.  We enjoyed canoeing - well, once we got the hang of it it was enjoyable. ha!

Aunt Christie with the little man!

This was early in the morning when Christie and Joey were packing up to leave.Bella wanted to be close to Joey that morning...well, she wanted to play with him most of the weekend.  He also had her favorite toy - the IPad!

Bella was eating grapes during lunch one day and decided to stick one in each cheek.  She then tried to talk and smile which brought on LOTS of laughter from all of us - especially PawPaw.

Sportin' PawPaw's favorite shirt.

We enjoyed lots of time out of their deck.

Susy acquired this tea set before we even had Bella for the sole purpose of having a tea party with the grandkids.  So it was a treat for her to have a tea party with her granddaughter.

Happy Birthday Uncle Joey!

Oops, these are out of order.  Here's the Smith family at the zoo.  Jonathan slept the whole time!

I love this picture.  They were feeding the fish with Bella.

Our animal-loving-gal went straight into the petting zoo.

Thanks again Grammy and PawPaw for keeping us and feeding us and loving on us!
