Labor Day weekend 2009!

MeMaw, PePaw, and Derrick (their dog) came down to visit us Labor Day weekend. It had been a year since there last visit, so Jolee was really looking forward to the weekend. We all had a great time being together and visiting. I think Jolee wore them out though, that weekend. They played everything from board games, to painting, coloring, barbies, puzzles, and the list could go on and on!

They came with 2 sack fulls of goodies for her..clothes, panties, socks (which I really liked) and of course some toys!

Jolee did great signing to them all weekend.The sign she used the majority of the weekend was...to tell them to come PLAY, it was cute. I think that she is kinda getting the idea that they are deaf and she has to use her hands to talk to them, she does a great job. Saying that, doesn't mean she didn't talk louder and louder trying to get them to hear her, but we would remind her, you have to use your hands, remember and she would say ok and start signing and if she didn't know how to say a word, she would ask her Daddy.

Silas and I got to take several naps, while the grandparents played with Jolee. I think that is a rule, right? When grandparents are in town, you try to catch up on sleep! Oh and the extra help cleaning up the kitchen was so nice, a little break for Mama!

Derrick (Silas's brother) and Sophie chilling out on the couch! They are both Bichon's, hence the resemblance!

Thank you PePaw and MeMaw for coming to visit, don't wait so long to come next time!

After MeMaw and PePaw headed back home on Monday, we headed to the Lake to join our church friends, for some great food, fun, and fellowship. It was a wonderful way to end the weekend. Jolee had a blast, and talk about DIRTY, the girl was covered with it. She was so tired, from all the running around and playing, she slept probably a good hour in Brother Davids arms.
And I didn't take not one single picture that day. I was to busy enjoying myself I guess..eating, singing, playing bingo and laughing and watching the kiddo's. If you go over to Amber's site, she took some great pictures, from that day!
