Our Trip to Greenville

Last week, Cole dropped Savannah and me off in Concord where my parents met up with us to bring us back to Greenville for the week. Cole had to work and help out at the church's Runner's Camp, so we decided to head to SC so I could go to Abbey's bridal shower and spend some time with family. We had a great time! The shower was beautiful and it was so great for Savannah to finally meet Abbey! Joelle and the twins came up on Sunday to stay for the week with us, so we had a whole week together. We had babies everywhere! It was wonderful! On Wednesday night, Brent and Katie drove in from Ohio. It is always such a treat to get to see them and this was the first time Brent got to meet Lyla and Pressley! They are so great with their nieces, we wish we could see them more often!Katie's sister Sarah, brother-in-law Garret, and their son Jack also made the trip from Cincinnati. Jack is gorgeous! I wish I was better at taking pictures, because I didn't get any of him with all the girls or of their family all together. We'll just have to get together again soon, I guess! Mom and dad set up a baby pool for the girls and for the most part they seemed to like it, but they all had moments when they seemed to think the pool was meant to make them miserable. They sure were cute in their little bathing suits, though (or birthday suits!).It helped to have the daddies in the pool with them, but it didn't leave much room for Jack.Gramma and Papa got all 4 of the babies matching red, white, and blue outfits, but again, I never got a picture of them all dressed up. These are the only two photos I have of Savannah in her cute little outfit. She loves her Gramma!We went downtown for a walk in the park and to window shop a little bit. It was hot, but fun to get out and a chance for everyone to strap on Baby Bjorns! We love those things!
The night before we all had to leave Greenville, we went out for a nice dinner at City Range (Yum!). We had a back room so at least we didn't ruin EVERYONE's meal. Keeping 4 little one's quiet in a restaurant is no so easy! Here's a shot of Lyla trying to decide what to order. "Do I feel like steak tonight, or lobster?"And since the babies weren't behaving, why should the adults? This is Cole letting the waiter know he's not quite ready for him to take his plate yet. There's a good snarl that goes along with this picture. You can almost hear it, can't you?Savannah was happy to be in Papa's arms. Wish she could be there more often! Thanks for a great meal and a fantastic weekend, Mom and Dad! You all are great hosts!
