THE weekend before thanksgiving, 2002, we got a real treat- Becky's husband Brian was in town to speak at a conference. This sounds like a good excuse to get together, so Becky tagged along with Brian and Nick flew up from Atlanta and we hung out for the weekend..! |
Here's Taylor getting reacquainted with her brother and sister..! |
Jordan greedily eyes Becky's breakfast- she's working the old "read to me now" dodge so she can steal something from Becky's plate! |
Jordan and Nick, hanging out. |
Brian got to spend some free time with us- here he is with Taylor... |
...and down on the
floor with both kids, practicing the dad thing. (ed- they're not pregnant yet, but that's the plan for after he gets his doctorate and enters the job market) |
The surprise of the weekend was how well Nick and Taylor hit it off- from the minute she saw him, Taylor was stuck to Nick like glue... |
...she taught nick about duck sounds... |
...and he tried to teach her about college football (but all she kept saying was "go-pack-go") |
This image will stay
with me for a long time- 3 of my kids sitting at the breakfast table
sunday morning- it's a beautiful day, the sun is out... it doesn't get
much better than this! (we could have had 4 kids, but becky and mj were out pumping iron) |
We had a minor fat-lip incident sunday afternoon so everyone got popsicles- here's Becky helping Taylor with hers... |
...and MJ and Jordan with theirs. Check out this cool hat Jordan is wearing- Becky knitted a couple of them for the kids. |
And here's the whole gang! From the left- MJ, Brian, Jordan, Becky, Nick rolyaT and George! |
