This weekend has been full of family and fun. It was Jason's christening on Saturday so Jean and Ryan are here as well as Jeff's parents. Ethan loved playing with them and Grandaddy Ed was a special hit with the kids. The hardest part was when folks started to leave.
One activity we planned while everyone was in town was to go to a Durham Bulls baseball game on family night. Jason sat this one out but Aunt Susan and Michael joined the troops and we actually won the game this time.
Ethan got his new baseball hat signed by Wool E Bull - the mascot for the Durham Bulls. Uncle Mikey and Daddy took him down to meet him. Ethan also enjoyed popcorn, lemonade and half of Mommy's Goodberry's ice cream. We really had a blast and thanks to Christopher, we all got to try some cotton candy. Wow...does that bring back memories from NY State Fairs.
Sunday we all packed up for another great day at Michael's. Mom made Italian sausage sandwiches and I brought lemon meringue pie and we all relaxed with lots of hands to help with the active boys. Ethan and Daddy were a one man volleyball phenomenon and Jason even put his feet in for a few minutes. Ethan of course loved the trains and the "sma-moke" from the steam engine. Christopher was off with Maw Maw and Paw Paw to Charleston and we already miss him. Ethan asks about him every 5 minutes but I imagine Christopher is glad for the break from the little ones. I shudder to think how hard it will be on Ethan when he says good-bye to his big brother next week. Here are some pics from the pool volleyball game:
