Papa and Meme to Memphis

We just had a great visit with the Robinsons. The girls were *tha-rilled* to have Papa and Meme in Memphis and although we never made it, Kate kept saying that she wanted to take them to the playground so "aaaaaaaall her friends" could meet them.

One night during their visit, the Robinsons baby-sat while we went to a dinner celebrating the two out-going Allergy Fellows at UT. It is so hard to believe that Scout has already been back at UT a year and that next year it will be his dinner and he'll be ALL DONE with his training! Can it be?!?!

The Fellows...

Nqyuen does a great job keeping the boys in line and is the official food-provider, party-planner, and general "make-it-fun chair" of the program! (On top of being a super doctor, of course!)

The girls, of course, had a ball while we were gone.
When we got home, Kate had somehow managed to convince Meme that she (Kate) shouldn't go to bed, but Meme should. So our little negotiator had *Meme* tucked into *her* bed, all ready for some Zzzzzs! Nice try, little one!

We had a girls' trip to the Midtown nursery to pick out some lovelies with Meme...

...and then came home and made some Krispie treats in the AC to cool off. C.C. particularly enjoyed sprinkling the chocolate chips on top and it looked like she might have enjoyed the taste-testing part, too.

After being soooo excited about her pink flowers and her very own garden Kate decided that working in the yard was really more Meme's thing. Hmmm.... she talked a big game, but we didn't get much manual labor out of that one. We'll give you a pass this time, sister, since it was 100 degrees in the shade!

C.C., however, really enjoyed adding her own lawn ornaments to the garden.

Thank you, Robinsons, for crossing the state to come visit us in (HOT!) Memphis! We had so much fun with you here and we still have a long list of fun to-dos for next time!!! (Like all those shops we missed, Rachael!)
