Grateful to get these!

I can't tell you how grateful I am to have this photograph, had I known, we would have taken a thousand more! This is my cousin Gina holding Thomas. Gina passed away a few days after this photo was taken. I am so glad that Thomas got to meet her and so sad that he does not get the chance to really know his cousin Gina. Grateful that I have memories of her to pass along.

Savannah put the camera down long enough to let us get a picture of her holding Thomas.

Family Reunion-Union

Thomas was ready to help mow Penny and Jim's lawn!!!

We went to the Arthur Family Reunion while we were in Union. It was so nice to see family that we haven't seen in a long time! Above, Thomas gets a sweet kiss from his Aunt Betty.

Family Time

Thursday and Friday we were in Union and mainly hung out at my Grandparent's house. Thomas enjoyed spending time with all of our relatives. In the above picture Thomas was supposed to be taking a nap but Snowball the cat had other ideas! Snowball pushed open the door and stared at Thomas until he woke up. Thomas of course had a GREAT time talking to and looking at the cat!!!

Aunt Linda and Aunt Betty got Thomas a Spongebob hat...if it were only a little bit bigger Dad might have stolen it!

Sitting on Great-Grandpa Doil's lap and trying his best to grab that super cool mustache!

Sitting on Grandpa Aron's lap and successfully grabbing his beard!

Chillin' with Grandma Paulette! I think he was getting ready to go down for his "cat" nap in this picture!

Great-Grandma Maria feeding him and Aunt Linda stealing a kiss.

He stopped squirming long enough to take a good picture with Great-Grandma Maria!

Aunt Linda feeding him!

Aunt Linda said she knew he would love her because she was crazy! She was right...he LOVES her and was giggling at her funny faces!

He certainly loved his Aunt Linda and her crazy antics but he loved his Aunt Betty and her sweet voice just as much!

Antley Springs

We spent Wednesday with my cousins Becky and Sidney. We roamed around their property, Antley Springs, ate some good Greek food and went to the Orangeburg rose gardens. Thomas also rolled around on the floor with their puppies!

A whirlwind Tuesday!

Tuesday was a whirlwind trip to Columbia! First we went to visit Vickie and Rita at USC, we also saw Patrick...who we had dinner with later! Thomas made himself at home on the floor in the office! He also "helped" Vickie with her work...and by "helped" I mean banged on her keyboard until the thing almost blew-up!!! I enjoyed getting to visit with Rita and Vickie both and to see the changes to the stadium first hand!!!

Then we went to lunch with my cousin Graham and his girlfriend Paige! I hadn't seen them in several years so it was awesome...I think Thomas enjoyed himself too!

For dinner we went to Beth and Patrick's house, or maybe I should say Charlotte's house, for dinner! I have not seen Charlotte since she was just a few days old! She has grown into a super cute and talkative little one!
