Kilmichael

We had the best visit in Kilmichael over the past weekend! This is a picture of Hughes' first nap at MaLyn and Big Daddy's house! Hughes made himself right at home...just as we all do when we go to Kilmichael.

He took his morning nap and we headed to the Bank of Kilmichael to open Hughes' first bank account! Here is a photo of Kent and Hughes in front of the bank! I love Kent's new accessory...paci in mouth!After the bank visit, we headed over to see Granddaddy Brown! Hughes got to spend some quality time with Granddaddy Brown through the afternoon. Hughes took a nap in my arms, Granddaddy Brown's arms, and on the bed most of the time!

However, he did wake up to eat. After his lunch, he was very playful and had a good time grinning at Kent and Granddaddy Brown.Friday night Big Daddy, Kent's Dad, grilled our dinner! Chicken, mixed vegetables, and green bean bundles were the menu for the night...healthy and scrumptious!!! YUMMO! Food is ALWAYS amazing when we go to Big Daddy and MaLyn's house! Let me just name a few of my favorites: Boston Cream Pie, Hashbrown Casserole, Steak, all of the above, Coffee Cake...did I mention the Boston Cream Pie?...there is so much to list, but that Christmas Boston Cream Pie is all I can think about!...Maybe I need to go eat breakfast...I am instantly hungry!

Sunday morning, we had to have bath time! Hughes loves a bath and I am so thankful for his calmness during this time! I am so fearful of the water and it would stress me to the max if Hughes was flailing and flopping around during bath time! Truth be told, he would probably get rag baths until he was able to hold his head up...if he acted up during bath time!

At 11:00 a.m. we headed off to church! It was our first time at the new church building! Big Daddy has really put lots of time and effort into the new building...the hard work REALLY paid off. After church, it was time to celebrate Harlan's 2nd birthday! We can't believe Little Haha is already two! Francie gives Harlan a birthday hug!...Too sweet for words! Francie is a great big sister! This is the sweet face that greeting us when we walked in the door from church!

Hughes finally got to meet Pamela! We were so excited when we heard that Nick and Pamela were coming to meet Hughes and celebrate with Harlan on his birthday.

Hughes hanging out in his swing while the rest of us eat lunch!

Harlan and his Daddy! Priceless picture! This would be a great framer for Mike's desk at work! (I must print these pictures out and mail them to everyone!)

Harlan's birthday cake!!! I must say, Mary Love, did an amazing job on this cake! Love the font, love the tractor, and best of all, it was very tasty! I think you have a side job in the works Mary Love!

Harlan loved hearing the birthday song from his audience!...so much we blew out candles and sang TWICE! :)

Francie gave the window a little life with her new jelly dancers!...I mean, shouldn't everyone get a gift when someone has a birthday? I think so!

Here we all are eating our Bar-B-Q from Little Dooey's and enjoying each other's company.

Harlan's birthday ride on Big Daddy's new toy! What is it with a boy and his toys? Whatever it is...Harlan couldn't be happier with the new Ranger!

Hughes first trip to Kilmichael was amazing. Our family is blessed with loving, caring, giving, and thoughtful families. This Tuesday morning Hughes was still smiling from the exciting trip!
