Raleigh, Cary, Apex




After leaving school an hour early Friday, I headed to the Raleigh area to see my friends. I arrived at Heather's house Friday to meet the girls for dinner; as well as meet the newest Sauls member, Jack. I arrived at Heather's house to see Heather, Rob, their boys Nathan and Jack; Jill, Casey and Elizabeth and their baby Grant; and Lisa and her daughter, Olivia. I felt pretty important! In the picture to the left, you see Nathan (3 1/2 year old) entertaining Olivia (6 months old). Nathan is a good big brother and is lots of fun to play with. After a dinner filled with new house plans, baby stuff, and wedding plans (yeah Jill!), I stayed with the Sauls. We got up Saturday morning and I was able to help take care of Jack while playing with Nathan at the same time! Amazing!


After breakfast, it was on to my next stop of the trip...the Lewis household! I arrived to see William, Jessica, and Eliza outside playing while Anna slept peacefully inside. After throwing discs (into the side of their house...oops!), drawing with chalk, and watching Eliza ride her scooter, it was inside for lunch and the Carolina basketball game. Jess made yummy pigs in a blanket for appetizers followed by homemade peanut butter with banana sandwiches! For those of you that don't know, Carolina won the game...easily! After the game, Jess, Eliza and I went over to see the Bryants. In addition to Ori and Asa, they welcomed another boy, Ilo in January. So, not only did I get to see the family, but I got to see the new house. However, all the memories are stuck in my head because I forgot to take my camera! After a yummy dinner together, I got to watch bathtime with the girls. Eating foam alphabet letters seemed to be the dessert of choice for the evening! I even got to read a bedtime story to Eliza! After breakfast, I went to see Aunt Laura for a rather quick visit. Hey, I'll take what I can get when someone comes home from CA!!! We caught up on the latest and even began planning my trip out there with mom in April!
As in the words of Jill: ' It was babypalooza' this weekend!
Whew...not it's time to rest!
