Nana and Popsy arrived last Wednesday, and we headed straight for the beach. We spent a couple of awesome days at Emerald Isle, enjoying the beach, the aquarium, a few surf shops, and our fun little beach-front hotel.
Kimball was super excited that Nana and Popsy could come to one of his soccer games. He played hard and loved all the attention. He and Popsy have been working on soccer drills every day since then.
Of course we had to make a special visit to Duke Gardens. We went there in between Conference sessions on Sunday (after we'd recovered from a fabulous Conference breakfast!). It was a beautiful day, and it felt so nice to be out in the sunshine. The weather here in NC is perfect this time of year.
And, as many of you know, Popsy saved the day and volunteered to stay here an extra week to help us out as I recover from my miscarriage. He has been Super Grandpa--taking the kids on outings, fixing meals, doing laundry, working in the yard, taking Liza to gymnastics and Kimball to soccer, staying up late to watch sports with Mark, and doing an amazing job making sure everyone is happy. Here's a pic of him helping the kids with a painting project.
Thank you for coming, Nana and Popsy. We love you!
