Goin' on a twip!

We headed to Virginia this weekend for some Bruce family time and V was just beside herself about the "twip" to see her Grandma and Paw Paw!

We had a great time with T's parents and attended his cousin Erin's wedding. V danced the night away and impressed everyone with her skills. Her favorite move was a modified "centipede" move that I shall call the backward snake. She went all the way across the (luckily empty) dance floor several times like this.


She ate 2 cupcakes (well, mostly frosting) with her cousin Myles (Erin's son, 2 months older than V)


And of course, she had a great time with her Grandma and Paw Paw!

This morning we went with T's parents to have brunch with T's brother Ash, his girlfriend Amanda and our nephew Jaedon. We went to a cool little restaurant in the Jackson Ward area of Richmond called The Black Sheep. I was ecstatic to see they served Community Coffee, a New Orleans coffee that I normally only get to drink at campmeeting. (Good call, Amanda!)

When the CC came out in a Florida mug, I knew I had to take a picture for my brother Malcolm who lives with his wife Sarah in Tallahassee and is a huge coffee fan. I drank 2 1/2 cups in your honor, bro!


V loved playing with her cousin Jaedon in the restaurant. He has 2 younger brothers so he is skilled in the ways of making babies laugh. We waited for what seemed like forever for our food (in toddler time) and they decided to take a nap.

After we got our food Ash dared Jaedon to clean his plate, which had enough food on it to feed our whole table, much less fill an almost 9-year-old's stomach. He, of course, ate every bit of his food (for $1) and this was the result:


All in all, a great trip!
