Pappys Turn for A Visit

Pappy, Dad Conner, came for his turn for a visit the middle of may. I thought the timing was perfect because it fell over my birthday. He spoiled us rotten and we worked him to the bone. We ate out several times, a special treat for us, bought strawberries from a local grower and made freezer jam. Ohh and bought a freezer for my birthday. He mowed the lawn, changed the oil and even helped me re-plant my corn the refused to grow.
We also got in a lot of playing. . . .

With all the playing Keeley became very attached to Pappy and even through a tantrum one morning when I tried to get her our of her crib. She trew herself on the floor and flailed around until Pappy entered the room at which thime the tantrum immediatley stopped.

Then as my birthday wish we got to go camping. It was great. Although we packed for and entire day to be gone for one night. Ohh how things change with a little one. We use to pack after we got home from work and still make it to camp before dark. It was memoriald day weekend so much was booked up but we got a spot in Wimington so we could go to the beach the next day.

A quick pit stop on the way to Wilmington.

Nap time, I think this is about the time I fried my back but doesn't Keeley look chill under the beach tent.


By the end we were all beat but when we got home dad treated us to Chinese from my favorite restaurant and Matt provided a cake for m birthday. I opened my presents and ate until I was sick. What a wonderful week. Thanks everyone!
