So Jayce has been away from home since Monday night and just returned this afternoon... He spent the night Monday night with his Aunt Laurie (who all the children call Aunt Liza), and Clint (Bonk Bonk... we are all about some nick names in the family) and Ellie (Ellie Bean that is)... Early Tuesday morning they headed to Lynchburg, Virginia to visit his Aunt Ash and Uncle Storm, Caroline, Tucker and Charlie Mac in the home of Liberty University... They had a blast! Laurie called last week to ask if she could take him on that road trip and all I could think was, we have a tough time making it to Columbia without him getting the wiggles! But hey, she said he did great on the ride, I am thinking the other children probably helped alot with that! They got to go to a huge zoo where they road through in a wagon and got to pet and feed the animals! He saw zebras and giraffes and brought home a souveneir (sp) that brought back childhood memories... a Davy Crocket hat! Laurie said this and a bag of animals were what he picked out with his money from nanny in the souveneir shop.. My younger brother David was infatuated with Davey Crocket and ran around in one of those hats all the time so I guess I have taken a liking to it much more than I would probably normally! He's pretty darn cute in it actually!
Anyhow,
We missed Jayce so much and ESPECIALLY Gabe... he just was not himself those few days... he was so sad and whiny everytime we got in the car because he didn't have anyone to stare at in the back seat! Seeing them reunite had to have been one of the sweetest times I've ever witnessed... I only wish I had my video camera at the time... After Jayce woke up from his 3 hour nap on the couch and Gabe from his... they immediately leaned in towards each other and hugged and kissed and smiled and stared without even saying a word... those boys really do have a special bond! Gabe was glad to have the entertainment back around here... BOY was it quiet!
I'm attaching a picture of Jayce on our way out... he had dressed himself obviously and was ready to go to Virginia!
