Bop-Bop and Nemommy's visit

For the past couple of weeks, we've had the joy of being able to visit with some of our family on both sides. January 16-18, we took a last-minute drive up to Atlanta for a CE&P (Christian Education and Publication) children's conference since the children's director in our church had to cancel at the last minute. It was really worth it. The conference was good, and we also took advantage of being able to visit with the cousins in Atlanta (and meet our new girl cousin). I'd post some pictures of the kids playing together... but, unfortunately we didn't manage to get one of all of them together. We really enjoyed our time visiting and catching up, though!

Last week (January 24-27) my Mother and Daddy (a.k.a.: "Bop-Bop" and "Nemommy" to the kids) came down to Pensacola to visit us. Even though it was a short trip, we had a wonderful time.... We took them to N.A.S. (the naval air base) to see all of the planes in the museum, which is always fun (and free!). We had a nice picnic near the lighthouse on the base overlooking the Gulf. We went out for some seafood in Pensacola Beach (yet somehow we didn't manage to actually get out and walk on the beach! Shame on us!). Mother and I caught up on some shopping (or "window shopping"). It was just a nice, relaxing time. Here are a couple of pictures of the kids with "Bop-Bop" and "Nemommy" at N.A.S.:
