Thompsons Around Town

Walking with Jackson outside.

Noah, putting some moves on me.

Sophie has mad ball skills.

Zarina drove me to see Dr. LeRoux at Family Vision Care

Susan meandered through the woods.

The Kickers practiced under the beautiful sunset.

Jackson had fun with stickers at pre-school.

Sand painting!

Cute alert: Jackson is Backpack Boy!

Grace sent a selfie

then later had a face to face with her sweet Samuel.

FaceTime with the Matriarch.

Peace.

Receiving Grace

Lucy and Grace stay in touch 

FaceTime with Samuel

Lucy and Grace stay in touch

Snap Chat with Samuel and Sophie

Grace sends us photos from Ole Miss

Spring is in full bloom along the east end of The Grove

This tree, however, seems kind of sad. Why?

Probably because there are still 124 days until college football returns.

We (Ole) Miss You, Too!

FaceTime: The Antidote to Homesickness

Grace and Super Sam

Peek-a-boo, Sophie!

Sister Love!

Daddy, too.

Grace entertains herself by simultaneously using FaceTime and taking "selfies"!

You never know where that Samuel is going to turn up!

Even die-hard William & Mary enthusiast Hannah will put on

the "Ole Miss" wear in support of her sister.

Grace at ODU

Moved in to dorm. Beds look nice.

Let the fun begin.

And the studying...

Nutritious grilled cheese sandwiches.

New friends.

FaceTime with Samuel

"Where are you, Grace?"

"I miss you, too, Samuel!"

Sophie: Can I have your room?

Grace: Read my lips. No.

Long Distance Relationships

With Susan back in Philadelphia with Sophie, FaceTime is again my favorite 

Apple application. Today, a back brace and more PT for the Mermaid Princess.

Funny breakfast face

Watching Mickey Mouse with a mirror

Samuel was taking photos of dad

"Yes, I'm adorable"

Holding My Breath

Calling mom, Annabelle looks like she's ripping my ear off

But look who answers. Hey! That's not mom. It's Hannah,

Jacob enjoyed having Grace and Hannah visit him this weekend.

It was fun to laugh with Grace

and wonderful to see sweet Susan's smile...

While it lacks maturity, I was tempted to hold my breath until Susan and Jacob return home.

Shortly after, I passed out and, upon waking, decided this was perhaps ill advised behavior.
