Today was really special to my dad. His son Bob "Bobby Joe" was in town and I finally got to meet him in person. Bob is Dad's son from his first marriage and they just found each other again after 50 years apart. Too long of a story to print here. We spent the day getting to know each other and visiting with various family members who came and went all day. My cousin Kevin, his wife Lisa, their son Devin, their granddaughter Madison, my cousin Dorothy, her husband Asa and their grandson Ryan dropped by for lunch or "dinner" as it is called in NC. To say that Hailey and Ryan did not get along would be an understatement. It all began with Hailey trying to tell him to be careful - the argument went something like "you have to be careful", "I do not", "yes you do", "no I don't" - well you can guess the rest of that argument. That argument was quickly followed by various tug-o-wars over several toys and Ryan "telling" on Hailey for saying no to his request to play with her toys and vice versa. As you can tell it was quite enjoyable....not. But after a couple of hours and a few "time outs" they settled down into a tense relationship of "sharing" toys.
But even with the kids' antics we had a really good day visiting with family and friends. We got a few pictures with Bob and I and Dad. Danielle's blog at folsomposts.blogspot.com has more pictures.
