Fun with Family

While we were in the US, we did our best to cram in as much family time as possible, while enjoying the warm, sunny weather and Nana & Papa's kid-friendly garden. Aunt Katie and Aubrey came from Memphis. We had play dates with Oliver & Beckett and Nathan & Mallory, and also had a little "pre"birthday celebration for Aubrey and Ward....kind of alot in a week when you add in the trips to the pool, gardening, golfing, and other "leisure" activities. We sure missed cousin Lois, who visited Nana & Papa a few weeks before our arrival. We are looking forward to some more good family time when the Hemphill clan comes to Scotland this summer. Hopefully on that trip we'll get a few pictures with Papa...since he is usually the one behind the camera.



Ward and Aubrey getting reacquainted...she's a little scared of him.
Gardening with Nana & Papa...somebody's gotta keep that place looking good!
Emerson playing golf with Daddy and Papa.
Wardie getting ready to head to the pool.

Leisurely breakfast on the patio. "Friend-Katie" (Katie Storey) and "Ju-Ju" (Julie Hile) who are our "extended" family drove up from Atlanta to spend the night and celebrate the early birthdays.



Emerson and Oliver being silly. These two love to spend time together.


Aubrey and Ward checking out the cupcakes.


Sorry PopO, this is MY cupcake!

Hey girl! How's life in Scotland? Do you miss Atlanta?

We miss our friends but not really Atlanta itself. We love living here. It has been a great move for our family. I was just thinking about you this morning so it is so ironic that you sent this message today!
