A 25 hour visit...

I love how my parents will come for a 25 hour visit and drive 12 hours to do that!  Isn't that great?!  Being a farmer's daughter, you learn at a young age that weather determines the schedule and road trips are few and far between during the 'busy time'.  Thankfully, my dad was able to escape for a short visit and it was a gift to my mom's heart (and a sweet birthday gift  for her too) that they were able to come, even if it was only for 25 hours!

Last year on my mom's birthday, she was actually in Robbinsville also and that is when we told her we were PREGNANT.  It's crazy all that can happen in a year's time.  Needless to say, grandma is in love with little Jayden!  It is SO fun to watch my parents with him and the BIG smiles that Jayden gives them.  I know it is hard on my mom and dad (but of course mom's take everything a little harder) not seeing Jayden from day to day but I personally think it makes the times we are all together SO incredibly special. 

Since it was my mom's birthday weekend, we ate on the river after church because that is one of my mom's favorite places here.  We did a little shopping too at the Nantahala Outdoor Center and just enjoyed the day so much. 

It's picture time..............

 

 

 

These next few melt my heart of Jayden and my dad!  Not to mention, Jayden's head control is SO fun now!  He is like a little man!

 

 

Now some of my FAVORITE pictures that Rance was able to capture of my dad making Jayden smile and laugh...

 

 

Thankful for all 25 hours with my parents!
