Our Trip to Charlotte

John, Brody and I were so blessed to spend last week with the Dirks family. Carrie and Tyler just had our first nephew and we just had to go see him and get in some quality cousin time. Brody and Maggie were definitely two peas in a pod. The first Saturday we got there JWU had a cook out for students/visitors and so we went, listened to a band, ate hot dogs/pizza/cake, and the kids played on the playground. So much fun and just the beginning of our adventure with Carrie, Tyler, Maggie and Henry.

And now I would like to introduce to you (for those of you who have not met him yet) the wonderful,... the adorable... the oh so sweet... HENRY LEWIS DIRKS!!!

Just having some special Aunt Christine time....

We spoke of many things together...

For the first weekend we were there, my parents came up to visit too. Grandma and Poppa just couldn't possibly be away from all this cuteness! I'm pretty sure the pile of red things in the background were the amazing Carolina sweat shirts that Poppa goto for all of us (except the babies). THanks Poppa!!!

John and Tyler took Maggie and Brody to Discovery Place while Mommy D. and Mommy T. went to Bible study at their church. From what I heard it was a wild fun time.

John. Brody and I snuck away one night to visit John's cousins, Jen and Rod Kinsey. They have two absolutely cute boys named Buddy and Eli (AKA John-John). Here are some pics from that excursion.

Back to the Dirks camp... good old diaper time. I think it was almost bath time so we let them romp around without clothes on for a little while.
This was a common occurence on our trip. Aunt Carrie reading to the dynamic duo.
We had so much fun that week. Praise the Lord for fun family and fellowship. Thanks go out to Carrie and Tyler for letting us come and crash your baby pad for a while. We love you guys!
