A Very Long Post!!!!!

 
 Well, as we do every year, Claire reunited with Mary Grace, whom we usually go see on the way to the beach ....This year, we took MG home with us on the way back from the beach!  We had her the entire week, and her parents came halfway through the week to see Memphis!  We all had a blast!  Claire and MG had lots of fun and were entertained every step of the way!
 The girls at the Zoo in teh China exhibit...MG loved seeing pandas for the first time!!
 The Hixons loved Jerry's.......the Hollingsworths too!
 We were tourists this week...even forced Lance to Mud Island!!

 Oh yes, we even went to Hard Rock......
 Claire and MG learning not to enter the yard with Jesse without some protection!

Ahhhh vacation Time!

 Well, we just returned from our annual Orange Beach Trip and of course, had a blast.  We had perfect weather and the kids just really enjoyed every minute. This year Mr. & Mrs. Hollingsworth joined us, and that was great!  A very relaxing trip!  Claire was in the water or ocean most of the time, and Jesse was obsessed with the metal detector Paw Paw brought for him to use! We also celebrated Father's Day, and lance spent his day on the beach, opening gifts, and a trip to the Waffle House (his idea, not mine!)  On the way home, we went to Montgomery, and picked up Mary Grace, whom Claire was with in China, and she is staying with us for the week!  We are super excited for the girls to bond!

Well, lots and lots coming up, so I promise to post soon......
