Fun, fun, fun!

The Peacock family arrived many hours later than we had expected on Saturday. They were pretty tired having traveled from Grande Prairie to catch their flight in Edmonton, Canada. They finally arrived in Florida caught a fairly decent night's sleep and began their journey to North Carolina. After more stops than they had planned they finally made it.

Their boys have grown a ton in the past 5 years. They were very good boys while visiting with us. They loved the ocean and our dogs. They couldn't get enough of either of them. We almost had to drag them away from the water and shoreline. I have the sunkissed skin to prove it!

When the boys were asked what the best part of the trip was while in NC they both agreed the ocean, boating and tubing was the best, but my cooking came in 2nd best. Not too shabby, huh?

Many hours were spent enjoying their company. Even though we talked and talked for hours on end for days and days they were very careful to keep a secret. One of my sister-in-laws called to share the secret...when she and her husband visit in October they won't be alone. The oldest sister will be visiting too! If only Tim could make it we would have the pleasure of visiting with all of Larry's siblings.

Reis and Kayla were married in an outdoor ceremony at our home. The weather had been really gloomy and wet, but the sun came out in time for the ceremony.

Rianne-Kelly was our last child. She was and is such a beauty. Her mood can change from warm to icy in a fraction of a second. She can be outspoken at times. Often referred to as our social butterfly.

Sweet Baby

Sweet Baby
Who can forget the way a baby feels as they lie against your chest or nestle in the bend of your arm? Who would ever want to forget the sweet smell of a newborn? Erica brings back a flood of memories from our own children while she creates impressions and memories that will last a lifetime in our hearts and minds.

These two have always been close. I guess that it is a good since they are twins. They have shared many hours together. I hope they will always be close.
