Highlands, NC

We spent the past week in Highlands, NC with Bryant's family and it was absolutely wonderful!  I was a little nervous the first day when it was freezing and raining, but the sun came out and it turned out to be a beautiful week.  As always, I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked, but we managed to get a few!

 Miller and Annie

 Sweet Jacob at Lakeside for dinner

 He loved sitting next to Uncle Scott and chatting it up!

Miller discovered that he loved taking pictures with my camera on this trip.  Mommy discovered that it keeps him occupied at the table.  Win-win.

 We have dropped Miller's nap (most days) and he was one tired little boy come dinner time.

 This girl never stops smiling.  Especially with her daddy to entertain her.

He entertained the busy big kids too so that we could snap a couple of pictures with them in the same vicinity.

 Couldn't leave Annie out of the picture taking that night!

The last night of our stay we went to the clubhouse in the country club where we stayed.  It was great to let the kids play on the practice green while we waited for our food.

 Apparently we need to work on Miller's golf swing.  His soccer skills seem decent though.

This kid loves balls.  When it was time to go inside and I took Jacob's golf balls away he went ballistic.  He let his "pterodactyl scream" rip (as we endearingly call his ticked off cry).  Thankfully, Uncle Scott came to the rescue with a golf ball for him to keep. 

 I just wish he was a little bit cuter.

And if only she could look like her daddy.  Just a little bit.

The first picture we've ever gotten of all four of them with no one crying or trying to get away!  Never mind Miller's wet, uncombed hair or the fact that he appears to be eating Annie's hand.  Contrary to the lack of pictures, Nana and Papa Frank were also there and were so very helpful with all of the kids.  We had so much fun being all together for a whole week.  Coming back to reality with no playmates has been kind of tough.  I guess we'll just have to start a countdown until our ski trip with everyone :)
