Visit to McLean

This weekend we ventured to McLean to visit Grammy and Papa. We ate dinner with Nikki and Aaron Saturday night at the steakhouse in Memphis. Rylan had so much fun and was so tired. We left around noon on Sunday and he fell asleep before we got in the car and slept almost all the way home. Grammy left with us in her car to come to Abernathy because Holly has kidney stones again and had to have surgery on Sunday to remove one.

Rylan took several steps by himself this weekend. He is walking very good but still holds on to something most of the time. Jill sent him a drum for his birthday from her family. He was holding the drumsticks and did not realize he was on his own. Of course no one had a camera or anything near so the moment was not caught on camera.

Papa picked us some fresh vegetable from his garden before we left. Rylan and Jordon were his helpers. We can't wait until later in the summer when there is more goodies. Hopefully they will have some cucumbers I can swipe to make pickles. Rylan loves pickles.

 

Checking out the future crop of peas and corn.

Rylan and Jordon helped Papa unload some gravel from the mule for Grammy in her back yard. Then Rylan got to drive around for fun with Papa. I think it almost put him to sleep.

 

They are under construction at the front part of the house; renovating a room and garage and adding on another room. It has also led to redoing the AC units and ducts for the whole house.
