Raleigh

A trip to Raleigh to see our dear friends the McClatchey's wrapped up our last week of vacation. Carver and Springer adore every minute they get with Abigail and Sarah Curtis and we all enjoyed meeting sweet baby Will. While the grown ups caught up (and I snuggled Will) the kids played Wii...for hours. The next day Carver complained that his arm was sore and it occurred to me that it was due to Wii boxing and tennis overload!

Sarah Curtis and Carver duke it out on Wii boxing!

Springer takes after her mama...she was content to just snuggle Will.

At one point she told me "Will just WUVS to sit in my wap."

And I think he agreed!

Little Will could not escape Springer's 'helpfulness'! Donna sweetly allowed Springer to help feed him...she was thrilled to be the big girl.

You should see how many shots it took to get this one!

Sweet friends

I still laugh remembering Carver, probably 3 or 4 years ago, saying that Sarah Curtis' beautiful hair was like peanut butter. He meant it as the greatest of compliments, but we all laughed that he may not win the ladies over with those analogies!

A bit blurry (thanks to our little photographer) but a shot of the grown ups and Will nonetheless. Old friends who know you well and still love you are rare-these are gems.
