The Adventures of Mary Laine (Part 3)

After her fun visit to Knoxville, the Focas loaded up the van with all of the girls and met up with Aunt Kelly, Jacob, and Payton in Asheville for the Mary Laine hand-off. Then she was off to Charlotte to stay with Gary's brother Andy's family. Because her cousins Jacob and Payton are older and in school all day, I'm sure it was much more quiet than her stay in Knoxville. She got in some great bonding time with her Aunt Kelly during the days. They did some baking, visited the Botanical Gardens (and enjoyed the beginning of "Butterfly Month", and went swimming. When her Daddy went to pick her up, he was able to go with Uncle Andy and some friends to the first Wake Forest football game of the season, so he was pretty happy about that too! Thank you so very much to the Charlotte Dyksterhouses for taking our baby in for the week. She was definitely sad to come home - things are much less exciting around here :-).
