Valdosta Visit

Shane's Chargers Quilt - Courtesy of Grandma

Just returned from a two week stay with Mike, Jennah and the grandbabies in Valdosta. It was a nice family time for us, and it was great to see how much the kids had grown since we last saw them.

Had a chance to spend a lot of quality family time with the kids - even babysat with them a few times so Mike and Jennah could get away on their own. Great fun for both couples I think. We were able to help celebrate Shane's 2nd birthday while we were there. There were even a few gifts for Makenna (early Christmas & birthday for her) so she wouldn't feel left out.

Hard at work on the cake

Weather was still pretty warm & muggy - guess autumn comes late in North Georgia. Not exactly football weather at any rate.
We returned Tuesday evening (21st) to one of the prettiest times of the year here in the Pacific Northwest. Cool, crisp & sunny days with the autumn leaves just reaching their peak. Makes for pretty walks along the Columbia.
Both of the kids had colds, and Rita has been battling a bug with some anti-biotics, hoping to be fit and healthy for the trip to Hawaii & points west starting November 17.
Here are a couple more photos from the trip.
