July 4th Weekend 2009





What a beautiful weekend. I couldn't have asked for one better and we had a wonderful visit with children and grandchildren. Friday our son Derik, his wife Sarah and granddaughter Aurora arrived from N.C. They also were totin' Sierra but we didn't get the pleasure of seeing her until later in the day. This is the first time we have seen Aurora since she was 3 weeks old so imagine how ecstatic we were. She took to Grammy right away but was a little leery of the gray bearded man and finally let him love on her as long as she could see me clearly.The kids had some things to do so we took Princess RaRa which she is now dubbed for eternity to meet her Great Grandma and Grandpa. The kids met us later and brought Sierra with them. It was wonderful having them all together.

Princess RaRa stayed over night with us and I must say she is such a good baby, she sleeps all night without a fuss. Saturday we headed to the lake for our traditional 4th of July picnic with my sister and the kids. This year was more wonderful as we had all but one child there for at least a few minutes throughout the day.
We had the pleasure of my sister coming down and spending the afternoon with us and were joined later by Bruce's sister Shel and her family. We cooked, we played, we swam and enjoyed every morsel of our childrens laughter and joy. I of course enjoyed taking tons of pictures of all the kids and making more memories for us to share with family and friends.
