Mr. Morgan

I took a very last minute trip to Wilkes this weekend and was only there for a very short visit. We had a wonderful time though. Marie LOVES her cousin Morgan. In this first picture, she was just meeting Morgan. It was taken over Christmas break just after he was born. The second picture is from this weekend.

Marie wanted to hold Morgan sooooooo badly. When I would sit her on my lap to help her hold him she would grab him around the waist and try to run off with him. Of course this didn't work so she was pretty upset. She settled on just giving him lots and lots and lots of kisses and hugs. She won't even hug and kiss LaMont or I that much! She loves Morgan!

I titled this Mr. Morgan because for some reason that is what he goes by. The funny thing is that EVERYONE calls him that. Even if they haven't heard someone else say it. So this is my nephew, Mr. Morgan.

My wonderful husband

LaMont suprised me on Monday. I knew he had taken the day off work but I didn't know what we were going to do. I woke up and when I walked out of the bedroom he had a bag packed for Marie. I saw her stuffed sweetpea that she sleeps with so I knew she was going somewhere. He had lined up a babysitter for the day and took me hiking!

We hiked Sharp Top at the Peaks of Otter. This is the same hike that my sisters and I did when I first moved to VA. On that hike we ran into 4 bears. No bears this time!

I am so out of shape that I didn't think I was going to make it to the top but we made it and it was sooooo worth it. The top of the mountain is huge boulders. It was so beautiful. It felt so good to make it to the top, especially with my favorite person :)

This picture to the left is Lamont near the top of the Mountain bragging that he has cell phone service. He won't get a new phone because he claims he doesn't need a new one when his still works. I have to admit that this is something I love about him because he never spends money unless he has to and he will use something until it absolutely won't work anymore. I am very similar so we are a good match. Anyway, whatever phone I have never seems to work as good as his ancient nokia. This was just more proof that some things aren't made as good as they use to be!

Enjoy some pictures from our wonderful trip. I had the very best day ever. I love you LaMont! Thank you for a perfect day.
