Dandridge, TN April 2013

What a wonderful week with my family in Tennessee.  Papa Steve rented us a "beautiful house, on the lake with a gourmet kitchen!" for a week.  Papa Steve, Mia (Kathy), Grandma Pat, Justin, Ashley, Nellie, Ebin and Declan came for the week.  We also had Maddie and Braxton - two dogs.  Braxton must have escaped at least 20 times during the week!  Took the kids to the Gatlinburg Aquarium and they had a ball... even 5 month old Declan loved the fishies!!!!!  Hats off to Justin and Ashley...........I've never been so worn out in my life!!!  But a good tired.  Back in Jacksonville and working again.  Having one week to not answer the phones was an added bonus!   The kids were wonderful, Nellie is learning all her ABC's and numbers on her Leap Frog 2.  Amazing, the kids know all this stuff even before they start Kindergarten.  Anyway, years from now, when you guys read this and look thru the pics, remember the great time we had together.  My family, I love you all so much.  After being home for 2 weeks, I can't stop looking at the pictures and I would give anything to have that week back again and again.  I will see you soon...  xoxoxox Mia
