A visit from my Grandmothers

So my 2 Grandmothers (Granny and Grandmama) came to visit us this past Sunday. Both of them live in the Rocky Mount area, and neither could make the drive to Wilmington themselves. So, my parents were nice enough to go pick them up and bring them for the visit. Actually, my dad drove from Fayetteville to Rocky Mount to get them Friday, took them to Fuquay-Varina to see my brother and neice, then took them back to Fayetteville to spend the weekend. Then on Sunday, my mom and dad took them back to Rocky Mount via Wilmington so they could see our new house. It was a long weekend for my parents, but I think everyone felt it was worth it.

Granny (my dad's mom) and Grandmama (my mom's mom) are two very different, but very special ladies. They both, in their own special ways, have taught me a lot about life. They, along with my mom, have given me good examples to follow as I make this journey through motherhood. In fact, Bella is named after Granny. Bella and Granny share a middle name, Gray.

We had a good time. We just cooked burgers and visited. Scott was the cook, as usual, and did a great job (even if he felt bad from poker night at a neighbor's house the night before!).

We did manage to take a few pictures...
