Jillian's Visit

Last week was a fun one around here! George's God Daughter, Jillian, came to visit from New Jersey. She is a sweet and darling 16 year old and we absolutely loved having her here! We all enjoyed her company so much! The boys adored her and I was spoiled by her never-ending help. She was so on top of everything, lending a hand in the kitchen and with the kiddos. I pretty much begged her to stay the whole summer and if it wasn't for a special someone back home, I think I may have convinced her! We spent the week doing lots of fun things. We went to the pool a few times, visited the NC Museum of Life & Science, went to a Durham Bulls game and visited Duke's campus. We also spent lots of time playing at home and even braved the record high temps while playing with the kids outside. Here's some pictures from the week. We miss you Jillian!!!!

David loved this butterfly puzzle. I've been looking for one just like it.

Drew digging for fossils. He said, "Look Mom, I'm a paleontologist!" He had his heart set on finding something so after watching him dig for what seemed like forever, I picked up a piece of bark and convinced him it was a dinosaur bone.

Drew loved sitting in the train caboose. It was ridiculously hot in there!

Coming through! David had a ball in the baby/toddler area of the museum.
