In March, we headed up for a visit to our old hometown of Knoxville, TN. It was our first real visit back. On the way up, we stayed in Chattanooga at the "Chattanooga Choo-Choo". Ellie is a total train nut, so this was almost more than she could handle! She was awestruck at first. We had a fun time touring on the train and finished the night with a swim in the heated pool. Of course, we had to stop at the Mayfield Dairy on the way up! The Athens, TN plant makes ice cream. So, we toured and had a scoop (or 2) of ice cream at the end! We were so excited to see our good friends, Gary and Rena Beeler. We made the trip for Rena's baby shower - her 4th was due in April (but ended up coming the next week!) Laura and Leah were the best of buddies while we were there. The bummer was that Laura was diagnosed with strep while we were still driving up!! So, the girls didn't get to bond as much as they wanted. Not to worry, the Lord protected us (and them, as Ellie came home with pneumonia). This was a wonderful weekend of blessings. We made new memories and renewed past friendships. Thank you, Lord, for these gifts.
