sweet trip home to Alabama

The second week of March we traveled home to Alabama to visit with friends and family. We had not been to Alabama since September and had been anxiously awaiting this visit and introducing everyone to Collin. 


The first Saturday we were home, we got together with family at Gammy's house. We were so happy Riley could come up and meet Collin. Riley is the very special man we named Collin after. 


Uncle John got some snuggle time in. 


Gammy made her famous chocolate cake...


which was quickly devoured. 


Collin loved talking to his Great-Papa. Papa could really get him to talk up a storm.



And Collin got to fall in love with Gammy as we all have done. 


This time with family fills my soul up.


This swing that sits on Gammy's porch was the same swing that was on her porch as a child. Her daddy would go out and stretch his feet out in the swing each night after dinner. And there it hangs today, swinging many a generation later. 


And we can't forget this guy, he went around Gammy's yard picking various types of camellias for his mama…melt my mama heart ; )


It was a great day. 


Collin loved the snuggles and meeting the people that already love him so much.
