Georgia and Arizona

Last week we loaded up the car and headed out on a 6 hour trip to Georgia to celebrate the life of Mark's Paw Paw. They had a nice graveside service for him on Saturday morning. After we got back to Mark's mom and dad's house, we took Asher to the duck pond. He really enjoyed throwing bread over the fence! Here he is with Daddy showing off his awesome arm!

I tried to take a picture with my crazy son about 3 times and this is as good as it was going to get. One of these days I will get him to actually look at the camera....

After the duck pond, we headed over to the playground. Asher had a great time with Grammy and Pop Pop!

That evening, some of my friends came over that live in the Chattanooga area. Mandy's little girl, Maggie, is about a month older than Levi. There are actually 4 children in this picture. I will give you a hint...neither Mandy or I are pregnant:) Can't wait to meet the little Boren!

On Monday, we flew out to Phoenix to see more of Mark's family. Our nephew Caleb was recently diagnosed with Lymphoma. He just started his chemo treatments and is doing great! We were so thankful to be able to fly out and spend some time with Jeremy, Tera, Caleb, and Cully. Grammy, Pop Pop, and Uncle Seth were there too! Because we all live in different parts of the United States, it is a rare occasion that we are all together in the same room at one time. Caleb is one strong little boy and we can't wait for the day that we get to celebrate that he is cancer free! That will be quite a party!  You can follow along with their journey at www.jeremyandtera.blogspot.com .

A little bonus is that Levi got to meet more family for the first time! Here he is with Uncle Jeremy...

Aunt Tera and Levi...

Cousin Cully and Levi...

Cousin Caleb and Levi.

Caleb had been in the hospital for about 3 weeks and so the night that he got to come home we had a big head shaving party! Here are 3 generation of Thompson's sporting their new buzz cuts!

I just love this picture of the boys...poor Levi:)

My favorite picture of all....Daddy and Asher!

We are back in Indiana now. I have 2 more weeks of maternity leave, go back to work for a month, and then bring on our crazy summer!

Much love,
Mark, Allyson, Asher, and Levi:)
