Carolina on our Minds?

Carolina wasn't as much on our minds as the great friends we left there. So, this past weekend we took a day trip over to our old stomping ground, Greenwood. It looked like it would be a rainy cloudy day, but the sun found its way out and made it a perfect day to hang out. Our first stop was the Warner's house. Jack and I had not seen Kristie since our visit in January. She couldn't believe how big he was and was eager to take his picture. Kristie even introduced him to a bumbo and several silly, animated animals. He was a little unsure about the singing, dancing creatures. It was so great to see her and Bill. We were glad we got to give Kristie her birthday present in person.

The rest of the day was spent with the Todds in our old neighborhood. Noah, the Todd's 6-month-old, and Jack had spent some time together in January, but this play date was long overdue. Both boys have grown so much! They were so much fun to watch. The Todds were gracious enough to make their house Grand Central Station. Scarlet dropped by to meet Jack and catch up with us. We got to hear all about the new house she, Scott, Emma & Dalton will be moving to soon.

The Wiles clan came by as well. Jack especially enjoyed sitting in Hannah Grace's lap. There are lots of photos from our trip in Jack's April photos folder (link on the right side of the screen). We even saw our old house. The new owners have made a few changes to the yard and exterior...we wondered what the inside looked like...but that will remain a mystery. We concluded our visit with dinner at Outback with the Todds, then headed back home. Although it was a short visit, it was a fun one. We hope we can get back again soon. Of course, in the meantime, we've extended invites to our old pals to visit us in Georgia.

For months we've been showing Jack himself in the mirror. He usually looks at us instead. On Sunday, he really noticed himself and his reaction was classic....absolute hysterics! He laughed and laughed at himself. I raced to get the camcorder and captured a little of it on video. It was great! What a fun kid!
