What a trip -NEW PICTURES

(I forgot to put on some pictures from when Nana, Papa, Kelly & Seth came to visit us at Mom's house... they are added at the end)

Laurie, Evan, Andy, Tiger and I packed up the car and took a trip to the Carolinas. We stopped in SC to see Nanna and family and then drove to NC to visit with Laurie's in-laws, the Registers. Charlie and Kathy got to meet Andy for the first time and they just fell in love with him, so much that they have claimed him as their own grandson. Their new title... Gramma Kathy and Grandaddy Charlie.
On our way back to SC from Durham, we stopped by to see my friend Liz. We wish we could have spent more time with her, but we had to get back on the road, so we just met for a short visit at Starbuck's... traveling with Laurie, we had plenty of stops at Starbuck's.
After we got back to Nanna's house, we spent more time with family and friends before heading home to FL on Wednesday.
It was a fun trip and we enjoyed all the time with family. I'm so glad that Andy and Evan were so good for the drive and of course, you know Laurie and I had a blast being silly in the car. It's just so great that Andy and Evan had the chance to spend all that quality time together! Now, I can't wait for Hannah and Ella to join in on the fun... it won't be long!!!

This set of photos & videos make me grin from ear to ear. But that photo of swirl-haired Evan is scary. You should make wallet photos out of that......NOT!
