ACC in Winston

As usual, Laura and Robert were extremely gracious hosts for the ACC this year.  We had quite a crew roll in!  Marion & Lucy with Gene & Sonya (& baby Cisco---8 months) all shot over from TX. Ernest & Shirley's crowd all made it...Will & Kristi plus James & Kate (who announced they are expecting in September - woo-hoo!).  Mary Katherine finally emerged from traffic Saturday evening to announce that she is moving with her company to Raleigh next month.  And the Ferguson Clan (9 adults complete with all 7 kids in tow) rounded out the craziness. 

Folks were in and out to games in Greensboro, but Laura & Robert's comfortable house made for a perfect home-base.  Saturday was gorgeous, so we enjoyed their stunning patio and yard all day.  Watching the St. Patty's Day race one street over, a trip to the local park and fire dept rounded out the activities for the little ones that didn't head to the stadium.  By Saturday night, we were all in one place, celebrating the boys' March 12 birthdays (5 & 6) and toasting James & Kate's and MK's great news.  Granddaddy would have been so pleased to see us all together.  This family reunion is what he envisioned these tickets would create.  As always, he was truly missed. 


First up in the truck!

"Look!  A computer!"

Em and Andrew in the $750k firetruck.

Displaying the mask on board - boys mesmerized.

Cheesey, cheese.

Quite pleased with herself, as usual.

A seatbelt - wow!

Driving already - uh-oh.
 
Happy Nicholas.

Cousins getting settled on the truck, that they pulled out of the house just for us. 


These were the nicest, most entertaining fireman:)

Margaret flirting already - we're in big trouble!

Robert sweetly singing to Matthew.  Someday, he'll know him as "Big Rob", or as Margaret has been saying, "Robin". 

Sonya meets Matthew. Lucky boy!

Cisco (8 months) and Matthew (8 weeks) check each other out.


How handsome Cisco is!


Margaret hitching a ride back from the fire station.
How old is this???  And why is it sideways when the original is not?!?

Slugs & Bugs concert in Cville upon our return from Winston Sunday afternoon.  GREAT music and the kids are obsessed with the CD we got.
