Mama Dot came from Raleigh to visit us yesterday! Vivian played with her at Gramme and Papa's house yesterday afternoon and then Aaron joined us for a spaghetti dinner there. We ate breakfast with her this morning before she left town. See you again for Thanksgiving!
(we tried and tried, but Vivian wouldn't let those fingers out of her mouth even for a quick picture)

The service for Peepaw was very honorable. We enjoyed seeing family. Afterwards we went to his house to eat lunch with everyone. Thanks to everyone for your prayers and kind words!

On Monday night, Aaron's Peepaw died. The funeral is on Friday so we're leaving tonight for Fayetteville to be with his family. Thanks for your prayers!

This afternoon we played outside in the shade of a tree while Aaron planted some shrubs behind our deck. Uncle Joey and Aunt Sierra came to visit and they brought Chase, Sierra's sister's youngest boy. He will be two in January. He was so cute to make sure Vivian had toys to play with...he's great at sharing! Actually, Sierra's sister Lindsay and I played volleyball together in high school, so I knew her before I met Sierra. Small world!
