Memphis in May

We recently met our good friends, the Willistons from Mississippi, (Paul, Megan, Matthew & Thomas)  for a weekend in Memphis.  We visited the Zoo, the Big Back Yard at Memphis Botanical Gardens, the Children's Museum of Memphis and Mud Island River Park.  Although the weekend's activities were completely centered around the kiddos, we had fun too!  Thanks for driving more than 1/2 way to meet us Willistons!  We had a wonderful time catching up and look forward to our next mini-vacation!  Here are some pics of James from our trip:

Now this makes me happy!

Dirt work in progress!

Our Future Homesite!

We just closed the construction loan on our new house and dirt work is scheduled to start this week.  We are very excited to finally have this project underway, but also a little overwhelmed with the endless decisions to be made.  We hope to move in before the baby arrives in December.  I have my doubts, but our builder says it can be done. Cross your fingers! :-)
