Just this past week the Phillips family headed to Anderson, SC for a time of vacation and visiting with family. It was Heather and my 7th wedding anniversary. Normally we would have dropped off the kids and went had a more private weekend, but Heather’s mom had recently fell and broke her foot and shoulder. We decided to take our vacation time to give her mom a bit of support. It was also Joshua’s 2nd birthday so we had a second reason to visit.
One day we left Anderson and headed to Fairplay, SC. Fairplay is where Heather’s 96 year old Great Grandmother lives and it is nice to spend a bit of time with her. We sat around and talked with her and she handed James and Nolan candy and stuffed animals to play with. Before we left we wanted to take some pictures. Everyone piled on the couch. James had a huge fake cheesy grin. Nolan acted like a hoodlum, and I had to bribe him with candy so he would sit still and stop crying. But it was nice to have a picture with 1 month old Levi and his Great Great Grandma together. After the picture James was talking to his Great Great Grandma. Heather told him he had to be gentle with her. When I ask James to be gentle with Levi he gentle caresses Levi stomach or hand, so James held her wrinkled hand softly. After a second he started staring at her hand and seemed mesmerized by it. He studied her hand for a few minutes, and then he looking at her. Great Great Grandma I can feel your bones you need to eat something.
