THE WEATHERSBYS ARRIVE

The Weathersbys arrived this afternoon to begin a fun-filled four-day weekend that will eventually include the arrival of my sister and brother. The weather is hot, the pool is warm, the grill is ready and I'm off work until Tuesday.

Silas is the first to reach the front door. Tim and Bethany are getting the rest of the family out of the van.

Bethany makes her way through the gate and to the door while Tim gets Naomi.

Here comes Devon.

Tim and Naomi take up the rear.

The step from the dining room down into the living room is a favorite spot for jumping and somersaulting.

Wearing Papa's wireless TV headphones, Devon enjoys an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants.

Debra, Silas and Tim compete in a game of Phase 10. Debra won.

Bethany hangs wet swimming suits on the drying rack.

Bethany reads Debra's grandkids photo book.

Naomi kisses the magic wand.
