Emily and Ryan come to visit!

Emily, Ryan and Maddie came down this past weekend for a long visit. They were able to work it out to come in on Thursday night and stay until Sunday!

Friday morning, I had to take Philip to the doctor for his 2 year check-up so Emily and Ryan took Jackson to Waffle House (his choice!)

Someone was loving the one-on-one time with Uncle Ry-Ry and Aunt Emmie!

Once Philip and I returned home from the doctor, we loaded up and headed to the outlets. Emily snagged a few cute outfits for work; I grabbed a pair of pants; and Jackson lucked out and got a new pair of Star Wars "run fast" shoes!

Coming in a close second to the Stormtrooper shoes, was running around the Outlets with Uncle Ryan to find all the rides. I think Jackson played in them all! His favorite was Garfield where he learned from Uncle Ryan that Garfield likes "san-ya"(lasagna) just like Jackson!

Jackson made friends with the Pretzel lady and enjoyed a tasty little snack!

Okay, this next picture is very random, but it paints the picture:

We were peacefully strolling along. Emily and I jumped in front of Ryan and Jackson and were discussing where to go next. At the same time, we both turned around to watch Jackson run into an open door.

We screamed out of shock and laughed a little because, well, he ran into an open door. Ryan, stood in horror and disbelief. Wesley went to take care of Jackson.

Ryan looked at us and said "I would have stopped him, but I thought for sure he saw the open door!" Bless him, he felt horrible, but no one could have known Jackson could somehow not see the door and chose that moment to speed up and RUN into the door!

Wesley helped Jackson "shake it off" and we went on our way.

The next morning, Jackson couldn't walk! He could put no weight on it and every time we even touched it, he screamed in pain.

So....while Wesley was at work, I left Philip with Emily and Ryan and I took Jackson to the doctor to find out if he had broken his leg/dislocated his hip from hitting the door.

Thank you, iPad, for making the wait for the x-ray pleasant! 

A few hours later, we returned home with a sore little boy but no broken bones! YAY!

After a Saturday rest by the entire house, we headed off to the park with the boys and dogs and then to Menchies for a before-dinner treat!

Philip played on the playground while Jackson went with Ryan and Wesley to the dog park with Flash and Maddie

Wesley and I had so much fun with Emily and Ryan, and so did the boys. Philip followed Ryan around all weekend. He couldn't get enough. In fact, Sunday morning, Ry-Ry were the first words he yelled when he rolled out of bed!

Thank you, Emily and Ryan, for making the trip and loving on our boys!

Philip LOVED being with Uncle Ry-Ry!

Maddie and Philip watched all the cars go by waiting on Jackson to get home from the doctor! Too Cute!
