Visitors and Visits

Hopefully, this post will explain my absence of late? We've been busy this past month~mostly entertaining visitors and doing a little visiting of our own.

Grandma came for a visit a few weekends ago. We had a wonderful time enjoying the city, as Fall made its grand entrance. And what better place to celebrate than here?!

Mount Vernon, September 2012

With a picnic, enjoying this view of the Potomac.

It was a beautiful day to enjoy our first President's home.

The very next weekend, Jeff's friend "Uncle Drew" came for a visit and met Judah for the first time. It's safe to say they hit it off right away :-)  Judah kept referring to Drew as "Daddy's best friend." It was so sweet.

It was another beautiful weekend, so we spent a lot of time outdoors...and eating...and cheering for the Tide.

We ended the weekend by taking Uncle Drew to an Ethiopian restaurant in the city....his first experience with wat and injera :-) It was all rave reviews for Drew's first Ethiopian dining experience!

Several days later, we had the BEST unexpected visitor...my mom (aka, KK)! During her business travels, her connecting DC flight was delayed, so she stayed overnight with us. Sadly, I have no pictures of her 18-hour visit, but it was such a great surprise and gift.

Finally, it was our turn to travel. Someone is a pro at flying these days :-)

While it was wonderful to spend time with Jeff's family in Kentucky for almost a week, it was a sad time for all of us as Jeff's Granddaddy Cunningham went Home to be with Jesus and his bride last Friday. He was an incredible man...husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather....a humble servant to his family, his country, and his Lord for 90 years.  We will miss him so.

We're finally home and resting for a bit...in between all of the Fall fun that I'll try to share with you next time. Until then...
