This May we took a week off to go to Georgia and see our family. We stayed with Greg and Gloria for the first several days, and they fed us very well. Greg grilled some awesome burgers, and Gloria made quacamole from fresh avocadoes that was out of this world.
It was nice to have time to spend with Claudia. She's 2 now and she has quite an active imagination. Here she is on an excursion with one of her dolls, possibly an imaginary picnic.
We took a day trip to Brass Town Bald. It was so cold there -- 60 degrees!

Claudia hiked most of the way all by herself. She was pretty proud of herself for climbing up on this rock.
On Tuesday we went over to Cumming to see Andrea at work. She read books, sang songs, and gave a puppet show, all about the color red.
After she got off work we went to the park to play a while. Isabella likes to clown around on the jungle gym.
And she likes to swing, too.
On Friday we dropped by the pool to see Elena swimming with her goggles on.
Her mom was relaxing with a book.
We went up to Canton to see Garold's old friend Joe. They have a brand new home, and were nice enough to let us spend the night. We went out for dinner at an Italian restaurant and then to the movies to see Angels and Demons.
On Saturday we went to Grace's birthday party, at Magnolia Springs State Park. She is already one year old! Aunt Laura brought her a stuffed animal called "Bolt." She heard that Grace loved the movie!
Claudia offered Grace some advice about opening birthday presents.

Friday night we attended the Roswell premier of "The Producers," to see Laura perform. She had several parts in the play, but my favorite was the little blind lady. Laura has a flair for comedy that she used to advantage in this role. Here's one of her "head shots," showing a little attitude. You should avoid provoking this look from Laura if at all possible!

Grace's Mom and Dad were on hand to show her how it's done. She was very appreciative of all her gifts.
Grace was a gracious party hostess. She stopped to chat with this cute little boy, to make sure he was having fun.
Meanwhile, Isabella and Claudia put their heads together to try out some new markers.
The next day we all got together at Fordham's for lunch before heading home. Look what happens when three mommies have three cameras!
Later, Grace got some quiet time with her Daddy to read a book.
She even got to go swimming at the Trellis Garden Inn pool. After the swim, she ate a strawberry, and laid out with her Mom.
Alas, our trip was over and it was time to say goodbye to the Kozee family.
Garold said goodbye to Kody, who was very happy to see him, as usual.
We were a little tired, but very happy that we got to see all of our children and all of theirs.

Here we are just before leaving to go back home, with Julie and Grace.
