A Special Visit

After our marvelous vacation we had another wonderful mini vacation right in our own home. My aunt Amy and her husband Eric came in with their two beautiful daughters for a couple days. We absolutely loved having them here and hope like crazy that they will come back again real soon. We haven't seen them in over a year. I can not imagine any better house guests than the Mabley family. It was so comfortable with them around. You know the kinds of guests that blend perfectly with your own household. My girls adored their girls. I think having a not yet one year old in the house gave my angels the idea that a baby might be fun to have around. Even though Vanessa was a perfect angel I don't have that baby fever. The Kirvens will have to settle for visiting friends. Rabbie and Claudia, their six year old, were getting along like the best of friends after only a short while.
Josh did have a bit of difficulty giving up his bed but he got over it. He told me, in true Josh fashion, that I would have to wash his sheets because that man and lady slept on them. Little creep!

Dear Kirvens,

We're back home in North Andover, MA after a fabulous visit to both NC and SC. We so enjoyed our stay at your fabulous home in Bishopville. It was great to be with everyone again, and we were so pleased to see Diane for a short while as well.

What a fabulous group of kids AND adults! The Bufort stew (is that right?) was terrific and the entire visit was so enjoyable. Unfortunately for you, we're sure to be back again for another visit!

Vanessa is enjoying her tractor, farm girl, and cow, thank you.

Note to Josh from Eric: "Did you find the live spider I left for you under your pillow?" (hee, hee)

Here's a message dictated by Claudia:
"Thank you Josh for letting us use your room. I had fun with Rabbie in the bath and with Anna Grace on the golf cart. That was fun sleeping all together for the slumber party in the playroom! Come visit me soon. Love, Claudia"

Enjoy your last bit of summer. Let us know when you need more rockets for your stomper!

Much love,
Amy, Eric, Claudia, and Vanessa

P.S. Your photos are fantastic as always. We love the one of Claudia and Rab.
