The Past Few Weeks

It feels like it has been forever since I last posted anything! Not much was going on at the beginning of the month and we were lucky enough to have company for the last week of the month.
Grandma and Grandpa Beckstead came for a visit for a few days and we had a great time. Here are some of the things we did:

We went on a trolley tour around Savannah.

We went to River Street in Savannah

Grandma and Grandpa figuring out where we need to go.

We also went to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina to play in the ocean, but I didn't get any pictures.

The day after Grandma and Grandpa Beckstead left we had Grandpa Heywood and his fiancee, Patti, come visit.

We also went to River Street (I never get tired of that place)...

and the museum on Fort Stewart.
We drove up to Hilton Head to go to the beach, but once we got there a big storm was coming in and we decided against it. Instead we went swimming down the street in our complex pool and had a great time.

The kids got along great with Patti. We look forward to getting to know Patti more in the future.

THANKS FOR THE GREAT TIME GRANDMA AND GRANDPA BECKSTEAD AND GRANDPA HEYWOOD AND PATTI! WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU ALREADY!

Now that company is out of town I am sad to say that Rob has to go out of town for a month. About 5,000 soldiers here at Fort Stewart are heading away for the month for training before they deploy. Training is a good thing, but we don't like to see him go for so long.

So fun to have family there to play! It looks like you guys had a wonderful time. I hope we get to go to River Street when we come!

I wish we could be there this month while Robbie is away. Call us on the phone a lot and do a lot of blogging! We'll be praying for you and for him! We love you!

P.S. We were at the new mall in Sparks today and Jadee was wanting to buy clothes for Maggie...so funny! She even asked me her size and searched around Carter's for something. Unfortunately, her mother didn't have any money with her!

So glad you had a fun time with mom and dad. I love the picture of Maggie on mom's lap. I think Maggie looks a lot like her.
