Price Family Shoutouts: It's a family affair

With the exception of Mamaw Sherry, Papaw Doug, and Aunt Trish, we have came full circle on seeing all the family. After spending much of the summer "hunkered down," we finally did some visiting this last month. Well, technically, Mawmaw and Pawpaw Freddie came to see us. The boys really enjoyed having someone other than me and Shane around to entertain with their antics.

We also had a trip to Albemarle to visit Aunt Patsy, Grammy, Pawpaw, Dale Cynthia and Jesse. Pawpaw celebrated his 57th birthday and we had some AWESOME Sweetshop cake. Roland and Duncan got to ride on the four-wheelers and were in hog heaven. Me and the boys went to the fair with Dale Cynthia and Jesse and watched the demolition derby. It gives Roland hope to think that you can earn money being destructive. Jesse brought a friend and his little brother, which worked out perfect for Roland. He never has anyone to ride rides with, so it was exceptionally fun for him to have a little guy to hang with. I think Grammy and Pawpaw needed a rest when we left. Sadly enough, I forgot the camera-again.

Then, off to New Bern. We haven't saw Grandma Avis and John in what seems like forever. They have been to India since we last saw them. It is an Indian tradition to give babies a gold ring and as a result Duncan got his first jewelry. Here he and Roland are sportin' the gold. How cute is that?

The boys had a great time playing with Uncle John. He has tons of matchbox cars and tons of energy. Those are two of the major requirements for making little boys happy. Much to my disbelief, John is taking driver's ed. Roland Shane and John did some deer spot lighting with John as chauffeur. That's just scary.
