Granny and Pawpaw Come to Town

Justin and I are so thankful that our boys get to make special memories with their great grandparents.  It is such a blessing that Granny and Pawpaw are able to visit us periodically.  The boys really enjoy their visits.  Pawpaw is lots of fun! He is always chasing someone or throwing someone in the air.  They love for Granny to read them stories and sing songs to them.  I have wonderful memories of my great grandmother hiding Easter eggs with us when we were young. She was always so full of energy. I'm thankful that even though we don't live near Granny and Pawpaw, they are still able to make pretty regular visits.  To really sweeten the deal, they babysat for us so we could go on a date for our 8th wedding anniversary.  What a treat!

See you next time! We love you!

Big Brothers!

We had a BIG surprise in the Fair household this week!  I still laugh thinking about it.  After waiting on the Lord's perfect timing for five long years, He decided to surprise us with an extra special blessing.  This baby is due May 9th.  We will find out boy or girl in a couple of weeks.  I'm just thrilled beyond words that the baby is healthy.  God has truly blessed us beyond our imagination.

 

Labor Day

This Labor day Nonna and the Kight family joined us for some outdoor fun.  We had Slip'n Slides, a swimming pool, a sprinkler, and the bouncy house.  I don't have pictures but, Justin smoked us some delicious ribs and we had lots and lots of food.

This picture just makes me laugh.  Claire likes to pick up the boys because she is the big cousin and they are "babies".  I think Ethan was a little top heavy this time :)

Sweet Love!

Apparently I was too busy having fun to take too many pictures that day.  The next morning the kids wanted to get back in the water, so we let them play in their pjs.  The boys have so much fun playing with Cousin Claire.

We decided to try to get some pictures of all the kids together.  Of course, there was screaming and knashing of teeth, but we did end up with some cute pictures.  We started with Charlie since he was sleeping so sweetly. I think he was about six weeks old.

This picture is just funny.  I was chasing them around the yard trying to get them in the same frame.  Tough stuff!

Poor Charlie Clark!  We had to get some pictures of him in the froggy outfit.  Couldn't you just squeeze those sweet cheaks?!  By the way, the twins were 5 months old when we took their pictures in these outfits.

These pictures are just too precious.  I couldn't choose a favorite, so I added them all.

A Sip'n See For Charlie

The boys and I took a trip to Nonna and Pappa's house for Charlie's Sip-N-See.  Friday we played in the water with cousin Claire.

Our sweet Aunts Ellen and Terri made all of this beautiful and delicious food.

Ethan LOVED his cup of grapes.

And here is the guest of honor!

Proud Nonna and Great Aunt Lisa

Uncle Curtis came buy to meet Charlie too.

This is Mrs. Fulmer.  She was my Sunday school teacher when I was six years old. I have such sweet memories of her loving on me when I was little.

These pretty girls were helping with the presents.

Pappaw Peacock and Great, Great Aunt Charlene. 

Everyone was so happy to see Charlie.

 

Aunt Ellen and Charlie were having a serious heart to heart.

Sweet Aunt Virgie and Joan were able to come by to meet Charlie.

We had fun with our cousins, Bogan, John Austin and Kaylynn.

Papa took the kids outside to play and see the horses.

I took this picture from the back porch with my long lens.  I really love my camera and used this opportunity to have a photo shoot.

I was so happy spending lots of cuddle time with this sweet potato. 

 I just love this picture of Pappaw with Charlie. 
 

Welcome to the family, Sweet Charlie! We are going to have so much fun with you.  It won't be long before you join the pack.
