Weekend fun...

We had a pretty busy weekend!  Chris's dad drove down to Fayetteville (for a few different reasons) but mostly to attend a reunion ceremony outside of Ft. Bragg with his good friends, Charlie and Cherie Morton, with Chris as the guest speaker.  It worked out well since Grandpa was also able to watch James's first football game!

James loves having Chris
as an assistant coach this year!

Although they lost, the Panthers played a great
first game.  James played the entire game (offense and
defense) and was beat by the end!

While Chris and Keith were at the Reunion Banquet that evening, I stupidly nicely invited three of the boys' friends to have a slumber party at our house!  (Crazy mama.)

The boys actually went to bed at a
decent time for which I was sincerely grateful for!

On Sunday morning we made pancakes and then the boys ran outside to play again.  First day under 90 degrees in months!

On Sunday afternoon we went out to Sicily Drop Zone to watch about 400 paratroopers jump out of airplanes.  It's such an amazing sight.

While we were there, Henry (with help from the boys) collected 40 crickets!  He put them all inside his "traveling habitat," as he referred to the Dasani water bottle.

It was a really nice weekend.  I have to close with the sweetest school work Henry brought home on Friday afternoon…

It immediately went into a frame.  Thank God for the little things… visits from grandparents, cooler weather, love letters from little boys.
