N.C. Wrap Up

Hi friends! We're back from a lovely two weeks in North Carolina. We loved seeing friends and family, and are sad that there were a few of you that we didn't get to catch up with. Next time.

Here are a few photos from the tail end of our trip:We got to visit with our Rutherfordton Deckers. We joined them for a Mexican feast in honor of cousin Rob's 23rd birthday, and then for a swim. Happy Birthday Rob!
We also caught up with Ashley, yay! Eli loves her!
And she loves him.
We caught up with our old friend and professor, Dr. Meacham, at the Montreat Barn Dance. We used to see her there 8-9 years ago when we would go to the barn dance on Friday nights off from camp. She snuggled with Eli for a while so Eric and I could have a dance without him in the sling (sadly, we jumped in on the "30 and older" dance. Alas).
Eli was fascinated by the dancing. So was McCool, seen boogeying down in the far right of this photo.
Here are a few shots from the thirtieth birthday festivities hosted by the lovely Selena. The Top Gun shades were a big hit.
Just call her Maverick
That's my girl!
Back on a plane. Eli does remarkably well on planes. He doesn't usually fuss at all (unlike the unhappy child near us), but he does wiggle the ENTIRE time, which makes for very tired parents. It was nice that we were both there and could swap him from time to time.
Getting comfy.
Sweet fellas. We're back and settled. It's hot. Dry but hot. We're off to church camp for a week starting Sunday. Hope all are well.
