We have been enjoying our visit with Meme, who arrived on the 15th, & Ryan & Liz, who came on the 19th. We were busy & the time flew by, as usual! Here are Mom & the boys in front of the Battleship on the Cape Fear River last Monday. Filson missed all the downtown fun while he was at school.
On a trip to Orange Leaf Monday afternoon, 1 of at least 3 Frozen Yogurt shops we visited in the past week : )
His big brothers try to share, but this one refuses to eat ice cream or FroYo....how can he be my child?!?

| Ian picked out some new goggles on one of his many shopping trips with Meme & wore them in the tub, to the beach, & any chance he could. Here his little brother tries them out. |
Cruising to dinner Thursday night.
Dining at Dockside
Cuddling on the couch with Uncle Pups & Aunt Liz
For the first time in 3 years, John did not have to spend his birthday on the road for work : ) We gathered a group of 15 friends & had dinner at this restaurant on the river, then met up with some others at a concert. It was a beautiful night & we had lots of fun celebrating.
So this is what Forty-Three looks like ; )
Grant's "Cheese" face....he's definitely not camera shy!
Sunday we took the boat out for a day at the beach. The boys had fun swimming & digging for crabs to show to Meme, Ryan & Liz.
These two love Meme's visits, because they get to "camp out" in her room every night. (John & I love it, because it's no longer us they're waking up at 5am!) After a long day on the beach, they were struggling to keep their eyes open while watching "The Land Before Time" before dinner.

A trip to Wrightsville Beach for lunch before heading to the airport.
Luckily Filson's school had a teacher work day, so he was able to spend the day with us, too.

| Uncle Pups gave Filson a 3-D puzzle before he left, & Meme helped him get started on it this afternoon. |
 |
| A stop at Fuzzy Peach tonight for 1 last Frozen Yogurt treat before Meme heads home. |
These are a couple pictures from the night before Mom arrived. John & 6 other dads took the kids out on their boats & camping on the beach for the night, 9 kids in all. They had a great time & I'm sure are looking forward to doing it again & I enjoyed the peace at home with just little Grant & I!

wow...you packed in alot of fun while your mom, brother and liz were there. Orange leaf is a big hit with us too. we don't have the big teddy bear here though! Love Grant's papa t-shirt!
I'm sure the boys r missing all the attention with your company gone. So glad that Nancy, Ryan, and Liz were able to come visit. U always pack in a lot of activities! Love the boys sitting in the big rockers! The camping trip also looks like a major success!
Wow! What a great time you guys had. So many fun pictures! I'm sure it took everyone a few days to get rested up!
