The Parkers: Lots of PA Family Visitors!

Last week we had a few visitors. Pappy Tony & Cindy came for a long weekend, followed by Gigi & Poppy. Prior to this visit, Gigi was the only one of the four that Pierce had met. He was very excited to meet everyone!

It seemed as though every time Pappy held Pierce, he cried. Now, I know Pappy would like to say that didn't happen, but since I have it on film, I thought I'd post it...just to make sure everyone could witness it for themselves!

We took everyone to the Civil Rights Memorial in downtown Montgomery, and because we're there so often, they have offered Pierce a job. He's the highlight for the workers, even if he really doesn't watch the video. The lights outside in the hallway seem to be much more interesting to him! :) Here he's putting his hands in the water for the first time.

We also took Pappy & Cindy to Dexter Avenue Baptist Church. This is the only church that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was the pastor. He preached and spoke many places, but this is the only place he was in the pulpit. He was the pastor from 1954-1960. Pierce enjoys this tour, too, but on this particular day, he decided he would rather sit with Mommy on a pew. Maybe he sat where MLK once sat...you never know!

On the last night Pappy & Cindy were here, we did a photo op out on the back porch. Pierce was ready for bed, but seemed to enjoy his time in front of the camera...wonder where he gets that? And, so maybe he didn't cry EVERY time Pappy held him!

After a quick turn around of sheets & towels, Gigi & Poppy arrived. Gigi had a cold, so unfortunately, she didn't get to steal many kisses from Pierce, or make it into very many pics...SO, Poppy, here you go!

Pierce absolutely loved his Poppy. They spent many hours flying around the house and chasing after Waggz. It turns out, Poppy's a pretty funny guy!

While Gigi & Poppy were here, Pierce also figured out that yes, in fact, his hands DO actually work!! Pretty cool how he can hold his own keys...anyone want to go for a spin??? (In Daddy's car, of course!)

It was chilly one day, so I put this sweet, sweet outfit on Pierce that he got from his Auntie Feather. Eventually it warmed up and he had to change, but he was rockin' it while I had it on him! We also found a hat that matched his onesie...of course I had to put it on him before he outgrows it! How funny does he look? Bless his little heart!

Here are a few pics of Pierce with Gigi & Poppy....

On Gigi & Poppy's last day, we decided in support of the 2008 Olympics, we would have a red, white & blue photo shoot. Good thing Pierce had his USA shirt available!
