Two days after Ethan Grey made his entrance, Pops headed back home for a week of single parenting so I could stay in Memphis and be Grammy. I will never be able to thank him enough for the sacrifice that it took to make that possible. And he wasn't the only one! We had a host of friends and family that took a turn watching the boys while we were both gone and while Tom was at work when he returned. Words can't express what a gift that was! After surviving the week with the boys, Saint Tom loaded them up, along with all the gear that goes with traveling with them and drove the 9 hours back to Memphis.

Lindsay and Troy have the most amazingly gracious neighbors who insist that we use their pool and we are so happy to oblige! Henry gave the boys lots of swimming and jumping tips.
Jeremy finally got the nerve to jump off the board.
Not to be outdone, Ian had to go off the board, too!
