Today was a great day! We woke up in Jenny's house to the sounds of two 5 year olds anxiously awaiting our company. It's always so nice to be wanted. ;) They're the cutest guys. It'd been a few years since I'd seen them, so it was nice to see how big they're growing! They start kindergarten in the fall. Time goes so fast!
Jenny and Tim made the best batch of fresh oatmeal, from a 50-pound bag of oats they get at a local food co-op. We added some brown sugar, cashew butter, and other tasty treats to a bowl Jeff and I shared. Then Jeff and I finally got to see the grounds and meet the goats. They were happy to see us as well (maybe because we were holding the oatmeal). It was hard to believe that I drank milk that came out of one of those guys just yesterday!
We all carpooled to Weaver Street Market in Carrboro where we met up with Suzanne and Markus. We had a great brunch, chatted, and watched the boys play in the dirt. Then we all split up. Jeff and I grabbed a few snacks from the market and then hit the road.
We had plans to meet up with Dad and Brenda in Warsaw, on our way to Emerald Isle. We were trying to synch up with George and Jackie as well. It worked out perfectly and we all enjoyed a late lunch and a little time together at Smithfield's Chicken and BBQ. Ohhh the chicken was good. But - the fun part - I got to tell them all together that we're expecting! The waitress overheard me and brought free hushpuppies for the table. YUM! ;)
We shopped at a little farmer's market stand in the parking lot - got some peaches, blueberries, and watermelon. Then we said goodbye to Dad and Brenda and finished the drive to Emerald Isle.
When we got there we were able to tell Jeff's sibblings our news as well. We decided not to tell the neices and nephews, but rather let the parents decide when they wanted to tell their kids. Everyone was very happy and there were plenty of handshakes and hugs to go around.
