Family weekend

Jaxon finally got to meet his third set of great-grandparents this weekend. Buschie & PopPop (Jack's grandparents) came down from Baltimore to see him. They arrived on Thursday but we didn't get into Raleigh until Friday. We spent the whole day over at Jack's parents place. Brinn & Gabi brought their dog, Skye, who had the cutest (though somewhat goofy) new collar. It was pink with little ribbon roses all over it.

Jaxon & Jack stayed there while I went over to Aunt Joy's for Jerry & Shannon's joint birthday party. All the 'kids' spent the whole evening telling silly jokes. It all started after dinner when we were reading the goofy ones off the Laffy Taffy wrappers. Gotta love gems like: When does it rain money? When theres change in the weather! The best was that Sophie started making up her own (maybe she thought we were making them up?). My favorite Sophie joke: Why did the turtle exercise? To get stronger! LOL!

We invited everyone over to our house on Saturday for a big spaghetti dinner. Jack cooked a HUGE pot (think gallons) of sauce from scratch. It had meatballs, pepperoni, & sausage and was the best he's made yet! We gave his parents a huge tupperware-full, sent some back to MD for his cousin & still had tons left to freeze. All weekend we played cards (15 card rummy) and enjoyed visiting. Of course Jaxon was nearly always in someones arms, but thats okay, he didn't mind.
