I Love My Family

My parents and siblings came this weekend to visit, to see the beloved babies and our house, to help us finish unpacking and to celebrate my birthday a little early. We were able to finish unpacking and rearrange some things, and my dad installed a much needed outlet in the kitchen. We did do a little bit of sightseeing (drove by the Vulcan) and took them to Jim ‘N Nicks which was really yummy, the cheddar biscuits are to die for and all the usual things rank at least above average in the B’ham BBQ competition. It was so neat to have them visit and I teared up as we stood on the front porch this morning and watched them drive away. They are so fun, generous and interesting, it is always a joy to be around them. And I got some really super terrific birthday gifts like

I also got some cash to get a manicure and pedicure, black crocs, jeans and shirts from the gap and a starbucks gift card. I feel very hip and special! But we all really miss them.
