Back to North Carolina

James, Tonya, Lilly, Jake, Grandma Phipps,

and Melanie

We are headed back to North carolina this evening. On our way home, we are carrying more cargo! Jake and Melanie (my nephew and niece) are coming back home with us and will be staying for a couple of weeks. Jake has been visiting us every summer since we moved, so for the past 5 years. Melanie has not ever visited by herself. But, she IS 9 now...and that means she is big enough to start visiting in the summer, too (those are her words!) We have lots of fun stuff planned to do. I am going to keep them busy so they can't fight with one another! Wish me luck, as I will have 5 kids for the next few weeks! We can't wait!
