Spring Visit Back Home

I learned the last time I lived on the island that I have to visit my family before I start feeling homesick. If I wait too long, then I get a bad case of homesickness. Considering how close I am to my family, it's odd that I live so far away from them. That's just how much I love living on the island, I guess. But I don't care how old you get, you never grow too old to get homesick or shed a few tears over it.

All I want for my birthday is my two front teeth! Samson with Katie

Papa is building a treehouse for the grand-younguns

Samson always misses his cousins when we leave. Can't wait til he gets more cousins!

These are their sour faces.

Another birthday celebration at Nana and Papa's

With Bailey in New Bern, NC, the birthplace of Pepsi. We visited the pharmacy where it was invented, which is now a gift store/museum. Samson probably asked for a Coke about 15 times in that place. I had to tell him to hush.
