Trip to North Carolina in September. . .
I decided to show these photos, even though there six months old, because I have nothing better to do tonight! Nicole flew from Idaho to Vermont and then drove 15 hours with the kids and myself down to meet Alexis' baby "Garrett" in Winston-Salem, NC. At the time he was only 2 months old and now he is 7 months old and quite larger than when we saw him! Grandpa Roger and Grandma Gayla were also there to add to the excitement. We also got to meet Alexis' fiance Brendan Stephens (to be married on June 3rd). He is a military combat journalist/photographer and we enjoyed his many skills with the camera and untiring energy with the kids!
I like this photo of the three of them, because it foreshadows the excitement they have for our impending addition (affectionately known as "baby Oliver"). Kent prays each night "for the baby to come out of mommy's belly" and draws pictures of himself feeding the baby a bottle and rocking him. Evelyn frequently says "my belly hurts mom, it my baby moving!" Luckily, I am due on Kent's birthday (Aug. 2), so it gives him a frame of reference for when his new brother is going to come. Kent can't wait for him to be big enough to share a bunk bed with him (it's going to be a long wait!).
We visited "Old Salem" where the Moravian culture settled, it was enjoyable strolling the cobblestone streets and tasting the specialty cookies!
On the drive back home, we stopped at Hershey, Pennsylvania to visit "Chocolate World". Kent was in heaven creating Hershey's kisses and Evelyn was besides herself in choosing only one thing in the gift shop. She got a chocolate bear and Kent got a tool box he filled with chocolate. He then returned and share a chocolate kiss with all the students in his class for sharing day!
