our trip started with a stop in chattanooga to see our friends jon & lisa (who also moved away recently). we enjoyed our short time with them and the kids had fun playing with abigail (baby ava just slept, pooped, cried, and ate...like a good baby).
then we arrived in nashville...and all of a sudden both of my children arose from their sleep with tremendous energy! they were excited to be reunited with abby and andrew and excited to see their new house. as we pulled in the driveway, evan woke from a sound sleep...he got out of the car with great excitement and jumped right into marty's arms, yelling "marty!"
the weekend was filled with lots of play. we went to abby's "boat park" (as they call it) and played on the playground. we went to the opryland hotel and walked around and ate dinner. my kids loved seeing all the lights and loved seeing the boats go down the river inside the hotel. we (the adults) played games...the boys (as in marty and rusty) painted the master bedroom and also created a new garage band...we went to church (a 1/2 hour late...oops)...we celebrated new year's...ate lots of good food...it was a good time!!
when i put evan to bed tonight, the last thing he said was "abby andrew house?" i had to reassure him that we would go back again soon.
so to marty, robyn, abby & andrew...just know that you are already greatly missed!! and it started in the car pulling out of your driveway! we loved our time there this weekend, but more than that...we love our friendship with each of you :)

We went to Opryland Hotel the second weekend of December and ate at Cascades...loved...we go there quite a bit...to get away with and without the kids.....
Sounds like a great time.
Sounds like a very fun trip - two Tennessee families for the price of one!
I love the picture, oh the fun times. Our house is so quiet now and I don't like it. I'm so glad that y'all were able to come up but it made me miss y'all even more, just remembering what it used to be like.
Andrew is now calling his small dog Mac, it's so cute.
