Visit to Blacksburg

The whole crew: Jamie, Rachel, Hunter, and Jacob

Baxter the big friendly dog!

Jamie was so excited to play with Rachel.

Jacob and Rachel hung out while we were there.

Hunter reading her favorite book with her.

Okay, we haven't posted in a while... to say the least. Let me start where we last left off. The week before memorial day Rachel and I took a little trip to Blacksburg to visit my old co-worker Mandi. We had so much fun with her and her family. She spoiled me rotten with homemade southern meals (they live on a farm, so even the meat is home grown!) and several cute outfits for Rachel. What a vacation! Rachel especially liked playing with her 3 kids: Jamie, Hunter, and Jacob. They were really good with her. She also did surprisingly well at night even though she was in a pack and play right near my bed. Normally she sleeps a lot better in her own room, but the week went very smoothly. Thanks for the great trip, Mandi! And of course thanks to Matt for driving me down and being supportive of my vacations when he is stuck at work.
