March visits

In March, both sets of grandparents came to visit, and the Whomptons traveled to Nashville and then on to Mentone to see Stephanie.

Mama Jo and Papa Bill brought Raina a really cool white board activity book and a handmade yellow gingham dress with special cows. Lola received a handmade white dress, which would be a perfect christening gown (if we did that sort of thing). It's lovely.
Here are some shots of Nature's Classroom. We don't have many; the camera's battery died. Papa Bill has some fantastic pictures, though; maybe he'll add them to the blog.

Notice that Raina has her arms playfully outstretched. She frequently does that when she walks, or stops, or talks ...

Krystal has been saying for weeks that Raina's head was bigger, and Eric mocked her, claiming that staring at tiny Lola was making her expectations different. This picture proves Krystal right: look, Raina just looks different here, like her bone structure is changing. (Eric finally agreed this week.)

And Lola ... I just love the ridiculous dinosaur hat and her coy expressions.

And we finally have something close to a Whompton photo. Unfortunately we're missing Samantha in the shot, but you can imagine her looking just as tired as the rest of us. And wearing a MBA sweatshirt too!
