My Mom and Dad came up to Pinehurst/Southern Pines from St. Simons Island Georgia to visit and look around.
Since it was just a short hour trip down for us and Hayley was off school, we headed down to hang out with them. We ended up staying an extra day and Jeff even drove down for the last night.
We checked out the sites, the lovely golf courses, the quaint village, ate some good food and played some silly games. It was great to see them because I miss them so much.

Ninja Jeff battles Ninja Hayley… Hayley uses her secret weapon – straws and a crazed beagle.
They aren’t really ninjas but just my two sweeties in their new long underwear. With the UNC-VT football game at VT at 8pm at night, I hit REI to get them both a ton of new cold weather gear. Their long underwear coupled with Jeff’s balaklava made them both look like ninjas – although Jeff looked like a burglar and even scared me a bit once.
They have a ninja battle for me and then we discovered the dogs just tore the heck out of the bed in the library. We go through dog beds every other month but rarely this dramatically. Hayley thought it was hysterical and Buster was so hyped up by her squeals and the ninja madness, he actually knocked her down wanting to play when she went to the bed with the stuffing out and then he tried to eat her hat. None of us could stop laughing at that point…

At long last…. edited down from over 260 to about 90 photos in five categories. Fhew, I take too many photos! But there are shots from graduation, the farm, the cemetery, Hillison Road and misc ones.
Also due to scads of work, these aren’t really edited very much. The photos here are just small version of very large higher res photos that can be edited, sharpened, cropped, etc.

We watched the Sound of Music, my favorite old musical. I knew Hayley would love the songs and she ended up deliriously dancing with Jeff during several numbers.
I had to grab the camera and take some photos of the adorable duo cutting a rug in the living room. Moments like this I fall in love with my husband all over again for his ability to be silly and wonderful with Hayley.

My mom was wonderful and a huge help, and it was just a great great time – we snuggled a lot, laughed, shopped and just goofed off. My stepdad brought Hayley a few clubs and they worked on golf – since he is a golf pro, he was in seventh heaven to play with a grandchild.
They left this morning to go back to St. Simons Island GA, as mom, Hayley and I cried our eyes out.
Best early mother’s day present I could have gotten – my mom and my daughter together. God they had so much fun together and my heart is happy.

Just some of the photos from Hayley’s birthday party at Birdie Putt Putt. We had a wonderful time! The kids were all so well behaved, the pizza was great and the cake was wonderful. She got tons of cute gifts and had a blast.
Kids in attendance: Gabby, Olivia, Yannette, Bailey, Gregory, Kaveen, Mason, Ashley, Clair (altho she is really mostly as adult at 13). Adults – Mom and Dad, Grandma Sharen, Uncle Jay, Grandpa Tom, Aunt Angie, Jenn (Mason’s mom), Sanjai (Kaveen’s dad).
Listen up kids
