Spring in NC

Earlier this spring, we got the chance to visit Zach, Amber and Hera in NC.  Mike had not been to NC since we moved Zach in last summer.  I had an unplanned visit last fall, but it wasn't for fun and games.  

Zach showed us around campus.  After church on Sunday, Zach and Amber took us to a nearby trail.

Memorial Day weekend, Zach and Amber were able to come home.  Zach was a groomsmen in a wedding.  It was an absolute picture perfect wedding.  The weather became unusually hot that weekend.  I felt for the beautiful bride, but in the end it doesn't matter.  It will become a story of their lives.

The groom and groomsmen lined up and ready.

Zach and Amber at the reception.  The bride's father is quite the musician and historian.  He has a lot of antique instruments.  This is a civil war clarinet that he allowed Amber to play. 

Wesley, Rebecca and Eli also came home that weekend to see Zach and Amber.  Eli is very fond of his Uncle Z..  I love the way he says Amber's name too.  It comes out more like Am-burr, but it's cute!

We also took little man to a local park to play.  The heat was getting to us all, but Eli didn't want to slow down.  Look at those sweet red cheeks! 

Soon it was time for everyone to pack up and leave.  Amber and Zach headed back to NC.  Little man and his family packed up and headed back to their home.   We certainly missed our Texas family.
