We went to New Martinsville on Wednesday evening. Had PJ's pizza (with the rest of New Martinsville judging by the line when I went to get the pizza). We had Thanksgiving lunch on 4th Street. Uncle Andy tried teaching the kids basic Spanish. Which led to incessant knock-knock jokes from Ted. I don't remember what was so funny about Sophie - but she just was. I had to give Uncle Mark a list of words he wasn't allowed to say b/c Sophie is a bit repetitive.
Afterwards, the boys played some cards.
Sophie and Ted joined in.
Then we went out Route 7 where my Mom cooked her first Thanksgiving dinner. It was great! Good job, Mom!
Ted and Trey played a little dress-up.
The grandkids: Graeson, Trey, Carlyn, Sophie and Ted.
Saturday I did a little Black Friday shopping in Middlebourne, WV.
We had lunch on 4th Street. Courtney has this magical way of getting Sophie to eat "salad" - lettuce and ranch dressing.
We had a birthday "party" during commercials of the WVU/Pitt game.
Love being part of this family!
Ted taught Andy how to play "Angry Birds" on our iphones.
Doh bought the Cootie game for the kids to play. We played one game and then the kids played with them as toys. Somehow the Cooties all ended up getting married.
Saturday morning we drove to Charleston. We had lunch with the Youngs and the Bishops. It was so great! Sydney and Ted were thrilled to see each other. And Sophie and Maisie played beautifully in the basement with the kitchen. It was truly a great visit (besides the pooping in the pants incident - but we won't go there!).
Maisie and Sophie (yeah, no pants).
Ted & Sydney
Preston (1), Sydney (4 1/2), Ted (5), Sophie (2 1/2) and Maisie (2 1/2). Duncan (3 months) was sleeping during this photo op.
Then we went to the Duffy's so Ted could spend some time with Gavin.
We took the kids to Cross Lanes to spend the night with Doh and Pap. We adults went to the Isaac's for a fun evening of catching up with friends, eating good food, and just plain fun. It was so good to see people and catch up. Truly, I felt so loved and blessed by the whole evening. Thanks to the Isaacs for being such gracious hosts.
Ben and I stayed at the Marriott with a gift certificate Project Graduation people gave to him. It included breakfast but Ben was gone for church. So Adrienne and I had a long overdue breakfast date.
Ben led worship at River Ridge Sunday morning and Andy spoke. That has to be a top 10 thing for Terri. Her sons loving Jesus and serving together. They both bless me. It was good to see so many people. The kids were slightly overwhelmed but did a great job and even gave out lots of hugs and kisses.
All in all, it was a great trip! Ted was all smiles after church and getting to hang with his friends. He was beaming. They both slept from Elkview (hanging on to their chicken nuggets) to Fairmont. I read half my book - woohoo!
This picture pretty much sums up how we all felt last night when we got home.
