Natalie and Mom go to NC

It was too cold for too long in KC, so Mom and Natalie decided to take a quick trip to visit Granny and Granddaddy in NC, while Daddy stayed behind to work. 

Trying some new tricks.

Natalie explored outside almost all day every day. 

Hey there Marilyn.

"Dandaddy" was the most said word of the trip. Natalie was in love.

However, Uncle Rusty was a favorite too. 

Lovin a warm day at the beach.

Mommy at 3o.

Okay, so the belly IS quite large...

Mom and Natalie. Thought we should get some pics together so Natalie will believe one day that it wasn't just Daddy raising her alone!

Kylee Dale Heath! This little cutie is my childhood friend, Leann's daughter. She is certain to grow up to be JUST like her Mama. Gotta love her BIG little personality. 

Jake is the big brother in the group. Notice how he's patiently waiting for the next little rider to join him on the slide.

A willing and happy rider.

Dinner at the Heaths. 

We've already discussed which positions on the softball team these two lefties will play. They don't stand a chance if they even think for a second they're not gonna be best buds.

An empty seat next to Mom and a sleepy traveler made for a relaxing flight back.

Strollin to the baggage carousel.
