Mini-reunion in Mississippi (After we arrived)

Jake, Malea, Colton and Gil drove in from Texas so we could see them for a few days.  I was so grateful for their planning and effort.

 The first order of business was to meet the two new babies: Gil and Hanna and have Nathan read me a book.  He is an amazing reader for a recent Kindergarten graduate.

Hanna, Me and Gil! Love at first sight for me!

 We flew in on a Saturday, so Church was first main event.

Do you like the tie Rorie picked for her dad?

The Shirley's had sold their piano by the time we arrived, so we had a private concert at church following the block. 

Eliza lost a tooth while we were there.  She was eating chocolate!

Colton provided the afternoon entertainment.

This game is called: Anki Overdrive! I was not good at it.:(

The whole day was exhausting to Gil.

We were there as Daniel advanced from the cubscouts to the 11 year old scouts.

We are suspecting that Bradley will really grow while the family is in England.  We documented his size at departure and will growth pictures each time we see him. 

This is us on the way to the airport in the Shirley's super-sized van.

Saying good-bye was extra hard.  Josh was certain he needed to come home with us.  He said, "I'd do really good with Hans."  I think we all felt the weight of the coming move to England at that moment.

The Activities of our visit have their own posts.
