Family, Food and LSU

Our last two LSU games have been filled with family visiting. Two weeks ago my parents were in town and took some time to visit us. We watched LSU win over Auburn. The kids were sooo surprised to see Nana and PopPop.

The kids were thrilled and eager to show them their rooms and the things they've learned since they last saw PopPop and Nana. Here is JB showing PopPop how he can hit the baseball. JB was SOOOOOO excited to show off!

HC was content to show off her room and her toys to Nana. They played with her babies and listened to a few Barbie CD's. Girly fun!!

Here is JB with PopPop. JB was drinking all of this attention in!

I couldn't resist sharing this shot! Pretty good huh?? Look at JB's eyes - right on the ball! Just like they are supposed to be! Daddy is proud of this shot. JB is learning the fundamentals.

This weekend we watched LSU win over Alabama with my baby brother and his wife. They were on their way home from a trip to Tennessee and stopped by our place on their drive home. My kids affectionately call my brother's wife Uncle Jill. :) They had no idea we were having company and were beyond thrilled to see Uncle Michael and 'Uncle' Jill. Jill is the only Aunt they call Uncle. They do know about Aunts. :)
To top things off, MY Uncle was in town for a different game. He and his son stopped in on their way home and watched the first half of the LSU game with us. This was an unexpected treat! HC was eager to take a picture with Uncle Bobby. JB takes a little longer to warm up and so he didn't have a picture taken. JB did warm up to him a teensy bit when I told him that Uncle Bobby is PopPop's brother. JB then began calling him Uncle PopPop. :)



Here is HC, Me, Uncle Bobby, Michael, Bobby (my cousin).

It has been so great having time with family. Most of our family is 6 hours or more away from us. So the recent visits have been refreshing. A taste of the familiar! Makes us look forward to the holidays!
