A Weekend in Greenville


The boys and I made another solo trip to Greenville this past weekend.  I have to say the trip went much smoother than the last one. Thank goodness!
When we arrived in town, we made a stop to visit Mammaw Adams.  


I was pleasantly surprised to see that my Aunt Mel, cousin Jamie, and her daughter, Loree Beth were also there for a visit.


Ethan took a nap with Mammaw while Adam and Loree Beth played. It was so nice to have a chance to catch up with sweet family.


We spent a lot of time playing at Nonna and Papa's house.  Nonna fed Ethan his sweet potatoes.


Papa and Adam took a short nap together.


 After all the sweet potatoes it was time to take baths. When my siblings and I were little we used to love to take baths in Mammaw Adams' sink.  I think it is so fun to see this tradition being passed on to my kids by their Nonna.


 Of course, after everyone was all clean, we had to make time for a photo shoot.




Ethan and Papa spent some time on the front porch.  I took this picture through the window because I didn't want to interrupt their Man to Man conversation.  It looked pretty intense :)


The main reason I decided to make the trip was to visit this precious woman.  This is my Mammaw Peacock.  She is such a special lady and has been such an important presence in my life.  I fully believe that I owe so many of my blessings in life to her constant prayers over me.  I am so grateful that I grew up in the same town as my grandparents. I am sad that my babies do not have this luxury, but I'm also grateful for the technology that allows us to stay in touch.


Thankfully, Mammaw was able to get Ethan to take a nap.


Adam and Pappaw Peacock had a nice visit...


and then a good nap :)


Mammaw is having heart bypass surgery tomorrow morning. Please pray that the Lord will give her His peace and guide the doctor's hands.  I hate that my sweet Mammaw is having to go through this trial, but I am comforted that He is with her and He is in control.


We had a great visit...


but we were all very happy to be home!
