Finally...


Nannie and Kate
Finally, Jon loaded some pictures so I could Blog about the visit from Nanny and Pa Pa Jay.
They came 4th of July weekend. It was a good but short visit. Friday night they got in late, came by so we could have a look at our boy (who was greatly missed, especially by Kate and Heston) and to see our house. They got the short tour of the house and property and went for rest at a local hotel. On Saturday morning we met up again and we took them to the Chattanooga Ducks boat/car tour. It was very interesting and really fun. The car/boat was used in WWII and built by women, which I thought was an interesting fact, and guess what?- it still runs-LOL. The owner is a client of the law firm I work at and he gave me a free family pass, otherwise it is really expensive. We will, however, go again. It was such a good time and well worth the time and money. After that we ate at Sticky Fingers downtown and then headed to the hotel so the kids could swim. The five of us swam, Nannie watched and rooted for the kids playing and Pa Pa Jay took a nap. We finished up and headed to our house where we all napped and then prepared dinner. Right after dinner we all said our goodbyes and just like that it was already over...

Nannie and Pa Pa Jay with the kids. All in all it was a good visit!

Best Buddies


Here is a picture taken at church, all 3 sitting nice and quiet waiting on me to clock in for Wed. night work. Heston is reading the Bible. He also calls church "bible" not church. It is really cute.
The kid also loves his bed, he has learned to climb in his crib, he just can't climb out so we will be moving him to a toddler bed soon.

Jon still has a job, although each day we wake up and wonder if he will get laid off that day. We are praying they stay busy! He also has an upcoming side job at my place of employment. So we are thankful for that. The media director at our church also wants him to join the Sunday morning crew. This is a big deal b/c you are supposed to have a year volunteer time in that department before you can do it on Sunday mornings, but she said he is just too good-

In just over a week now the kids and I (and GrandSherry) are heading to New Jersey to see Travis, Deb Grace and Cannon. We are very excited, except for the driving part. That will prove to be interesting to say the least. I will post pictures of our trip as soon as we get back.

I am about to leave work and take Josh for his 1 year ENT check up at the Dr. Everything should check out just fine. Josh got stung by a wasp this weekend on his neck. He was really a tough guy! He is almost as tall as me, maybe lacks 6-8 inches...which isnt saying too much since I am short but says a lot since he is only 9!!

Heston and Katelyn still fight like cats and dogs, but really love each other. He hugged her real big last night as they were separated for about 2 hours...Katelyn also told me that she "hopes Heston has a good time" while with GrandSherry and Granddad last night.

I am fine. (like anyone cares about me and Jon since there are now grandkids) but if anyone was wondering, again we are good. Staying busy and school is quickly approaching-we are going to make the best of the 3 weeks til school starts. A little sad I will have a 4th grader.
Cheers!
