Better late than Never

So it has officially taken me a thousand years to post these pictures, but I suppose late is better than never. Except for middle of the night interventional radiology procedures that have plagued me of late... in which case I would strongly prefer never.

Nanny spoke at her church in Valdese a few Sundays ago, and the whole family came to support her. Elle was her biggest fan, intermittently proclaiming "Nanny!" in her not-so-inside voice throughout the service. She laughed raucously at all of Nanny's jokes, as if it has been pre-rehearsed (and as if she would ever actually do anything that we "rehearse"). At the end, she shrieked "Good job Nanny!" and the church exploded into laughter. Thankfully they were very understanding of a wiggly, vocal toddler! Nanny did an absolutely fantastic job and I think the whole audience was touched. I know her family was proud, and we all echoed Elle's sentiment!

Afterwards we had lunch and visited Nanny and PawPaw's house, which E thought was just the coolest. She was particularly fond of the porch swing.... well second only to Nanny's fresh strawberries and homemade pound cake! She also got to spend some quality time with Aunt Angela and Cousin Austin. We are so blessed to have such an awesome family!

PawPaw!
Kisses for Nanny!
Swinging with Nanny. Some kids have their blankie or lovey... E has her Elmo plate.
Aunt Angela! Note the death grip on Elmo Plate.
Ok, these feet are gross. I should have cropped them out or photoshopped them "clean". Her beloved lime green shoes created a nice blister and we had to resort to Kmart feet. Mother of the Year points continue to accumulate...
Austin!
