Baby G Makes Three!: The Connors Come to Town

One of my best friends from my Furman days came to visit us a couple of weekends ago along with her precious family (and Caleb...kidding!!). I have known Faris for over 10 years now (gah...I'm getting old) and we always pick up where we left off. We get to see each other about once a year and hopefully as our kids get older we can make it more regular. Her oldest daughter, Eliza Faris, is 2 and some change, and her youngest, Ryals, is 6 days older than Reese. So, obviously Reese and Ryals are gonna get married!! This was the first time The Garvins had met Ryals and the first time the Connors had met Reese, so it was lots of fun. They were headed down to Florida for vacation and made a pit-stop for the night at our house. We had such a great time visiting with them...much different than last summer. They did the same thing last summer but Faris and I were both pregnant so we were very tired and couldn't partake in the adult beverages. This year we were still very tired, but wine usually makes everything better! It was really fun to see Reese interact with the girls. He's been around a few other little kids, but not for long periods of time or very often. They got along pretty well, actually. Ryals did try to give Reese sugar a couple of times and he wasn't too sure about it. But that's okay with me...at least for the next 35 years or so. Hopefully Faris and her crew will make this visit a yearly tradition. As our families continue to expand (Lord willing) it will get a little crazier, but that's okay...crazy lives here permanently!
