It's been relatively quiet around the house the past few days...or probably better described as the quantity of noise has been reduced by 25%, but the volume has stayed the same thanks to William's eagerness to make his voice (and words) known.
Anyways, we're on our way to meet Mamere and Papere in Marion to pick up Thompson. Papere picked him up Thursday and took him to Greensboro for his 5th birthday experience with Mamere and Papere. From pictures and phone calls, it sounds like T has had a fabulous time (despite 2 days of rain) and experienced all the makings of a GSO weekend...the human body exhibit (birthday experience), children's museum, Yum-Yum's hotdogs (2 please) and ice cream (oreo), Stamey's BBQ and hushpuppies, homemade pizza with Mamere, movie matinee (Yogi Bear), church, breakfast at Smith Street Diner (the building with the coffee cup), Natty Greene's alongside the railroad tracks, the Depot and church. And, I have no doubt many other great memories were made. I know we'll get an ear-full on the drive home (and days to come).
This weekend has reminded me and made me keenly aware of the special relationship grandchildren have with their grandparents. I have fond memories of mine with my mother's parents and my dad's great aunt. We are so blessed T and WY have four grandparents who love and adore them, and it's especially neat to see T mature to the age where he came begin to spend quality time with them, making memories that will last him a lifetime.
