What a Busy Weekend!


We visited with grandparents and other family members this weekend. On Saturday, we went to a reunion of the Paschal family at Aunt Margie's cabin. Lots of good food and good fellowship. Cora met family members that she had never met before (even Thurman the donkey!). I've included a few pictures. It was wonderful to see so many people that I have not seen in a while. We missed Granny not being there in body- but we know that she was there in spirit. Such a happy gathering of family is truly a legacy that she leaves behind.

On Sunday, Cora and I attended a party to honor Lola and Jack, daughter and son of Sarah and Jeff Smith. Sarah and I met in kindergarten 25 years ago as well as Laurie Fisher who came with her daughter Emily. Who knew that three girls that met in kindergarten in 1983 would be introducing our children to each other in 2008?! We had a great time. It was wonderful to catch up. We talked about another "mini reunion" in the spring. It will be interesting to see how much the children have grown then. I can't wait! I'll send out more details when we get closer to the time.

Before going to the twins' party, we visited with Grandma Mar Mar. She loves any chance to see Miss Cora. She got a special treat when our little one flashed her several smiles. Of course she took many pictures to document the occasion. We capped off our night by going to a birthday supper for Granddaddy Irv. They also saw some teeth (well, you know what I mean). Mr. Irving was great at making her smile.



We had a great weekend. Busy, but well worth it.


I am also including a picture of our Little Mountaineer. Misty and Daniel got this t-shirt for Cora in Boone a few weeks ago. They got Laurel the same one. We wanted to take their pictures together wearing them but they are growing so fast! I don't think we will have a chance before they grow out of them. Misty and I think it would be so great if our girls end up going to ASU together like we did.
