A short visit to North Carolina

Dad recently had meetings in Washington D.C. about a week apart, so he thought it would be fun to spend the time between at JJ and Jennifer's, which is just a short plane ride away. Mom decided to surprise Dad and spend the week with JJ and Jennifer too... but the surprise got really complicated, so she ended up having to tell Dad and JJ and Jennifer. Unfortunately, Mom and Dad visited at the same time a vicious stomach flu decided to visit. Nolan, JJ and Jennifer all came down with a pretty serious sickness, and Mom said she was really glad she was there to help give the parents a break while they were all sick.


Even though everyone wasn't feeling well, it was nice weather, and Mom and Dad got to spend some fun quality time with Nolan, who they hadn't seen in awhile. Mom took him to get his hair cut, and now he looks like a big boy toddler instead of a little baby. He's still dang cute though. They went on walks and read books, and did one of their favorite North Carolina traditions--visited the gourmet cupcake shop! (This delicious store is just down the street from JJ and Jennifer's house, and they were featured on a Food Network TV show!) They celebrated Nolan's 2 year birthday a little bit early by putting candles in the cupcakes and letting him eat it. Ever the gentleman, Nolan preferred to use his fork. He's just so darling! We miss you all a lot!
