Lyn's visit

We were treated to one final visitor this weekend, our dear friend Lyn. Here's a picture of Lyn and Ella with an iron statue at Aldridge Gardens. Ella was glancing over to the other statue, trying to decide where she'd rather be. We heard quite a bit of "bunny" and "ride turtle" while we were there. The weather was beautiful.

We also had a nice hike at Moss Rock Preserve on Saturday, the highlight of which was Lyn finding her Mont Blanc pen after it disappeared during some activities designed to entertain Ella, who has gotten a little bored with hiking.

We had many laughs and a wonderful, relaxing time with Lyn.

It's hard to believe that we won't have any more visitors and that we'll be at home in less than a week. Our friends and family who have made the trip to Birmingham have given us so many great memories and have helped make this December really feel like a holiday season.
