We were way overdue for a Jackson trip for some family time, so we packed up this past Friday and headed south. To satiate the constant demands from the backseat (“I wanna see Grace Ann. I wanna see Grace Ann.), we headed straight to Suzanne’s house. We spent the afternoon playing around on a friend’s trampoline and catching up, and then we headed for dinner and ice cream. Grace Ann surprised us by staying at Aunt Glo’s with us, and of course, HG was in hog heaven. It took physical force to get her in the bed by 10:00. :)
We had planned on meeting Ryves and Mary Chris for brunch at Julep’s on Saturday morning to celebrate Ryves’ MATCHING AT CAMPBELL CLINIC IN MEMPHIS (for his orthopedic residency- CAN YOU TELL I’M EXCITED THEY ARE COMING HOME?!?!), and I was even MORE EXCITED to hear that William would be joining us too. He was passing through from Memphis to New Orleans and would be in Jackson around lunchtime. I was certainly a very happy girl to have both my boys in the same place- and Mary Chris too! Yay!
After lunch, we visited Uncle Lary for a bit, and then as we were about to head home, HG reminded me that I’d promised her a stop at the playground. Since she was upset that Grace Ann had gone to the St. Patrick’s Day parade with a friend and we wouldn’t see her again before we left, we thought this might make our trip home a bit more bearable. Well, imagine our surprise when we heard a familiar voice yell, “Helen Grace!,” on the playground- Grace Ann was there with her friend! What a happy baby girl! They played for a while and ran off some energy before we scooped up HG and headed for the car.
We had a great trip just hanging out with our family. Worth turned FIFTEEN on Monday, so we feel pretty special that he spent his Friday night out in public with his crazy family. Now, that’s love!
