Milo

He is just too cute.

Baby is here!

Milo was 2 weeks early. Born June 16. But, still a good size and weight. He's a sweet little boy...sleeps a lot.

The Other Me

This is Mike's great grandfather's wife, Anna Nicholson...or maybe a great-great grandfather. I'll need to check on that. Anyhow, this Anna was born in NC in 1797 andd died 1870. And here is Mike's mom and dad's grave marker's at New Garden Friends Meeting cemetary in Greensboro. Also his maternal grandmother's grave.

My Brother

Quick trip to Williamsburg to visit some family. We looked at Yorktown--just a brief drivethrough--I plan to go back when I have more time. We also went to old Williamsburg. After all the cold weather we have had lately, this had to be the hottest day of the year, of course. Then to a Greek festival for some terrific food. Kyle also cooked lunch for us. Grilled fish. He's an excellent cook and a busy housekeeper. What a wonderful son-in-law. Here's a picture. There's a definite family resemblance.

Lego Expo

Spent some time Saturday afternoon with the grandboys at the Lego Expo in Raleigh.
Here I am having a heart-to-heart discussion with Legoman.

NC Museum of Art

Took the day off and went to the museum with some friends from church. It was such a nice outing. We wandered through the exhibits then had lunch in the museum cafe. We have several more day trips planned for the year. I'm very blessed to have a job with a flexible schedule so I am able to enjoy these diversions. I'm getting a small taste of retirement!
This is a selfie at one of the displays.
Here we are! The Golden Girls!

Had to go visit the boys

They have moved off of Andrews AFB to a housing area outside of Ft. Belvoir, VA. It's great. They are close to shopping and since they are technically "off-post" there is no need to go through security every time we want to visit them. It's a much nicer place, although a bit smaller, lots of kids in the neighborhood and it's about 30 minutes closer. At least we don't have to drive through D.C. anymore. The boys will finish the school year at Andrews and next fall they will go to the neighborhood school. I'll be back up there the end of June to babysit and to wait for the arrival of grandson number five! Very exciting.
