Amanda and I (Rebekah) flew to Maryland
the week before last, to spend a week with
these two precious little ones and their parents.
Eva - age 4 Hudson - age 2
(Have you ever seen anything more precious?!)
Here we are, on the Memphis-to-Baltimore flight
-I think the selfie is a bit cheesey, but maybe our smiles
show how excited we were!
We had such a grand time with these two!
Here they are holding their beloved lanterns - gifts from Mama Flo
We were on our way to the cave...
And here we are, peering into the cave...
Inside the cave, with the kids' lanterns. posing with Eva
Amanda and Hudson, on the bridge over part of the canal
Big boy Hudson wanted to take a turn pulling the wagon
We finally arrived at our destination - the Potomac River!
(That's West Virginia across the river)
Eva turned four on August 4th, but she had another little
celebration on August 24th with a couple of her Aunties...
who brought gifts from everyone "back home"
Anna and Eva read one of her cards
Hudson was thrilled with one of Eva's gift from Mama Flo
- a bag of "Lollipops"!!
They were both delighted with them!
One day while we were there, Steven's grandparents invited
us all for a delicious lunch at their house. It was wonderful,
but we forgot to take pictures until it was almost too late!

Here is what's left after everyone had fixed their plates...
...and here is Eva, with her great-great-grandmother, Nanny.
We feel bad that we have no more pictures of Nanny. Spending time
with her was one of the highlights of our trip! She is just wonderful!
One afternoon we went for a boat ride
Hudson, Anna, and Amanda
Eva with me
Here is a BEAUTIFUL view from up in the mountains.
That's their house and farm you see

...to this precious girlie....
...and her adorable baby brother
One last picture with "our" babies...

Thank you so very much, Anna and Steven, for a tremendous week!
