Grandparents Galore

Blayne at 1 month

Bathtime




The Harbin's



My Dad


Over the last few weeks, Blayne has been able to see all his grandparents, which they LOVE! Memorial Day weekend my dad and brother drove up from Auburn b/c my brother had not met Blayne yet. When they weren't hanging out with Blayne, they checked out all the cool things downtown to do here like the Chattanooga Market. There they kicked off the summer by buying a bucket full of locally grown strawberries that were oh so sweet! It was a great to have them here.

Then, on May 27th, Ben and I took Blayne to Manchester for the first time. We had dentist appointments, and since the Harbin's do not work on Thursdays we decided to spend the night. Needless to say, it was a bit too much too soon for little bit b/c he did not sleep well at all that night. He traveled in the car good though.

That weekend my parents flew in from Texas on their way to vacation in Gatlinburg for a few days. They couldn't believe how much he had changed over the last few weeks. When they came back through on Wednesday, they both thought he looked completely different from just that Sunday. hahaha! He's a growing boy. Unfortunately, we didn't take any pictures with them this visit, but below are some recent ones including a couple of his first baths.
So after sending my parents off to Texas again, I decided yet again to go to Manchester to let Blayne visit his grandparents again and meet one of his great aunts, Iva Kate, and several cousins. They came up for a day to hang out at the Harbin's. The kids had a blast swimming and exploring at Old Stone Fort. It was cute how excited they were to see Blayne and hold him. He's got a really big family (on both sides) to enjoy!!

In other news, yesterday I went back to work at church. My six weeks is up. This month I'll only be working part time to help me ease back into the swing of things. I am very proud of myself for not crying. My neighbor, Kelly, is going to be keeping him for the most part, which is so great! She's right across the street and has a little boy too! What a blessing! We are so thankful!

Seriously, I need help on how get the pictures where I want them. Fellow bloggers help me!!

Hey Laura, you have to click on the picture and drag it to where you want it in the post. It took me a while to figure the pics out too!
