The Grands Down South

My grandparents, Papa & Mama Doris, came to Mobile to visit us for a few days this week. They were excited to see our new place & it was nice spending some time with our grands!

We did lots of good eating, including a late Monday lunch at one of our new fave spots called "Orleans Poboys."  It was delish!!

We also did some shopping & sightseeing (they got to see all 3 boys' schools & the South Alabama football office). The funniest part of the visit was watching Tanner with Papa (he calls him Hambone).  He wanted Hambone to be with him constantly.  He definitely turned into Mr. Activities Director & had all kinds of things for the 2 of them to do - they played soccer, watched movies (Papa said "Frozen" is the longest movie he's ever seen), colored, played with puzzles & superheroes, & made music.  Hambone even babysat the stuffed animals.  It was hilarious watching them. Tanner loves hanging out with Hambone & Hambone is such a good sport. The boys were sad to see their great grands go!

One other perk of the visit was the delivery of Kallie Larkin's armoire.  Her room doesn't have a closet, so we needed a dresser & an armoire for all of her things. My grandmother told us we could have this 100-year-old armoire that they had. Papa added rods to the inside & did some sanding & other work.  Then Mama D painted it white to match the rest of her furniture.  Tim & I bought pretty crystal knobs that they added to the drawers & doors.  I'm so happy it's done & they brought it so we could put it in her room & finally get her clothes put away.  It's so nice to have such a beautiful heirloom in her room!
