Chattanooga in June

We spent a few days visiting friends in St. Elmo. I was so thankful to have arrived the day after a sweet friend gave birth to baby Samuel, and to have visited them twice during our brief visit. I was also very thankful for the Green's attic and their generous hospitality. Songbird has been talking about Ella and Naya, how they were all ballerinas, and how they washed their hair without being nervous about it. It's funny the things a 3 yr.-old remembers. It's also amazing how much she matured just from spending a few nights around older children!

Juden and Bro loved hanging out - they were such a great pair. Juden even shared his rolling rocket. My only regret is that I hardly took out the camera during our whole stay :( But we did enjoy a morning of ballet at the Riley's homestead, a picnic at the park with the Rileys, a delicious dinner and walk with the Algers, and a lot of afternoon fun in the sun at the Green's.



We left the Green's on Wednesday morning to spend the day in Red Bank at my Aunt's house. My mom, sister, Grandmother, both Aunts, and cousin Beth (with Ella and baby Jack) were all present. It was a relaxing day - spent mainly indoors because of a morning shower.
