June 16th - MA has arrived!

This was another great Sunday.  It started with church services, which were wonderful, as always.  In Sacrament meeting, the 3 youth and 2 leaders talked about the ward girls camp and the young men high adventure that they did a few weeks ago.  Great talks.

When I got home, I got the basics together for dinner and then enjoyed a little computer time.  I was doing a little family history, as well.  Then the kids arrived and things got a little wilder!  We went ahead and fed Brooks and then he went down for a nap.  The rest of us relaxed. 

MA and Charles were coming sometime during the afternoon, so we didn't want to do dinner until they got here.  After dropping off family at the airport, they had gone to the aquarium.  Then we got another call that they were sort of lost.  I-85 had been completely shut down because of an accident and they had gotten off to get around and got a little confused.  Bill knew right where they were and was able to give directions. 

We were excited when they arrived!  After visiting a bit, we finished up dinner and had a great time sitting around the table talking and eating.  And laughing, of course!  After dessert, we just moved it to the living room. 

When Brooks woke up, he wanted to go outside, so Bill went out with the kids for a while.  Eventually, he and Charles sat out on the patio chatting until the mosquitos started to attack  We all had a great time catching up.  We especially are enjoying getting to know Charles better.  We had only met him at the wedding and, while we had a great first impression, it is great to get to really know him a little more. 

Ashby took right to MA and even read some books to her.  Brooks took right to Charles and even gave him a hug when it was time to go.  Those children sure are great judges of character!

So day one has been a great success!
