So our first stop was off to Columbia to visit our good friends Amy, Ron and Harper! Mac and Harper played and fought, typical 3 year old stuff. We had a great time and we can't wait to see them again!! Then we headed to the mountains to see Nanna and Pawpaw. Here we were visiting for just a couple of days and leaving Mac for an extended visit. All of Mac's cousins were visiting too. Wheeler, Myleigh and Whitley came up from Florida and they all played so very hard!! Mac was thrilled to be running around playing with his cousins that he doesn't get to see often enough!! As soon as we arrived, Lily Kate got sick. She had her first tummy virus and spent the next day sleeping and had an on and off fever. She finally seemed like she was getting back to her normal self, but still cranky. Next stop, Charlotte to see Mimi and Aunt Anda!!! Mommy got to go to the Pottery Barn Outlet (yah!!!!!) and to Mary Jo's (another yah!!!!!). Mommy also got to have some quality time with Aunt Shelley and then we all got to have dinner together before Mommy and Lily Kate headed back home to Summerville. One by one, from the mountains to Summerville and all in between we all get the virus only to find out later that it is in fact Rota. Yuck!! Oh well, nothing like a tummy virus to jump start some weight loss! By the way, it has now been a week and a half since my glasses broke and I am just now ordering a new pair. Lily Kate is cutting two molars at the same time and this explains her prolonged crankiness. Way to go!! Mommy and she celebrate her new teeth and my absence of the rota virus in style and have steak!! So much for the jump start...
