This past weekend, the Willis family made a whirlwind trip to Alabama...gettng in on Thursday night and leaving to come back to Indy on late Sunday afternoon! It seems like maybe we are gettng a little better at these quick trips, as we managed to pack quite a bit into 3 days! On Friday morning, Nick left to go golfing with some high school buddies for the weekend, so Carter and I went over to the Murphrees to meet the newest cousin, Baby Owen.
Carter wasn't really sure about Owen when first got there, but as you can tell from the pictures, he warmed up to him quite nicely. By the end of the visit, he was leaning over to give him kisses and bouncing the bouncy seat saying, "rock, rock!" Owen was a sweet little guy and managed to stay awake most of our visit, so we were excited that we got to love on him! We can't wait to see him, and his brother and sister again in a few weeks!
Without giving you a detailed account of all of our happenings on the trip here are a few highlights {and one lowlight}:
seeing Popsy & Gigi on Thursday night
meeting Baby Owen
visiting with Debbie at The Lighthouse
playing outside in warm weather
falling down and gashing his head/hairline while chasing a ball {the lowlight}
playing with Bamma, Big Pat, and Uncle Steve {who came over from Altanta to visit with us}
licking the beaters from Bamma's lime cake...yum, yum
speaking of yum, yum; Bamma's yummy meals
playing with Bamma & Big Pat's cat and the dog
visiting with Aunt B and Uncle Ken on Saturday night
playing with Banks and Mary Reese on Sunday
Debbie's delightful dinner on Sunday afternoon
I am sure that I am missing something in this list, but it was a busy weekend, so it would be difficult to capture everything. We were so happy that we got to see and visit with family. We certainly wish that we were closer and able to play with our sweet familiy more frequently. We look forward to seeing y'all again soon.
{I have no idea how I managed to NOT get a picture of Carter and Bamma all weekend...my apologies...I'll have to work on that!}

You are becoming a regular "Canon Queen" with that camera! You may not have gotten any pictures with Carter and Bamma, but I managed to snap a couple that I'll be glad to share with you.
That "Carter-Man" is getting to be such a big boy and is such a happy little guy. It was SO wonderful to see and visit with y'all this weekend! I hope we get to do so again REALLY SOON!
Love y'all and tell Nick we missed him!

Glad ya'll could come down on such a BEAUTIFUL Saturday - now if only that great Spring weather would return.... sounds like Carter will be a SUPER big brother soon!
Cannot wait for the beach trip so we can all be together again for more than a whirlwind - although whirlwind was good.
love
Bamma
Does your brother live in Atlanta?? What part? I saw that you mentioned him coming over for your recent visit. We live in Atlanta and just wondered if we lived close.
sounds like a wonderful trip!
