We had a great weekend! We arrived in Savannah Friday night and stayed in an adjoining room to Jared and Brittany and "baby Charlotte". Anson was "so excited" to see everyone! (It is really cute to see him say he's so excited! I'll try to get it in a video) Saturday morning we all went to visit Dusty's grandmother. Chad and Amber and Gavin came for the day and met us there, too! The guys did a little work around her house and the ladies talked inside. Grandma enjoyed seeing all the kids and reminisced about how much Anson is like Dusty! Anson is in his question stage and wants to know "why" for everything. But he was pretty good! (Especially when Chad and Gavin were playing with him outside! Thanks guys!) And so as to not tire Grandma out too much, we all left her house around 2:00 and went to downtown Savannah for the evening. It is such a beautiful city and even more fun with family! We wandered around and had a snack in a cafe, wandered around some more and had dinner together before Chad and Amber headed home. We tried to get into Paula Deen's restaurant, the Lady and Sons, but it was already booked for the evening. But we had a great time! Sunday we went back to Grandma's house around lunch time and Dusty's Mom and Dad and sister Megan met us there. We all had lunch together and headed home around 3:30. Before we left we took some generation pictures with Grandma. As we were leaving, Anson and Grandma had a sweet converstion I wanted to share...

A: Grandma, do you have a boo boo on your eye?

G: Yes, can you see it? (she took off her glasses)

A: Yes, do you want me to kiss it? (As he is kissing her eye)

G: Thank you! I hope you'll remember me in prayer next week during my surgery.
A: Yes, Grandma, I'll pray for you!
And he has remembered to pray for Grandma's "boo boo" ! She has a cancerous growth behind her eye that has to be removed next week. Please keep her in prayer.

Ella had fun too! She and Charlotte were fun to watch... they had fun pulling the bows out of each other's hair, playing with water bottles, getting into all the interesting things at Grandma's house, and being held by everyone! So much fun!

Above are some pics from the weekend...
