Team Graves

Meet Team Graves.

I just can't believe how lucky I was to marry into this sweet family. Really, they are just unbelievable. Most of this crew has been here for 2 weeks. (The whole gang lives in FL.) Now, I never intended for them to work themselves to the bone. I was going to be happy if Chesson was happy. But, these are people who just go above and beyond. If they saw something that needed to be done - someone would just do it. Here is a list a few of the things they did while they were here:

• took care of Chesson (who wakes up at 6am)
• gave Anna Corbin a bottle in the middle of the night, so I could get a few solid hours of sleep
• took all the wallpaper down in my kitchen (this was a nightmare of a job)
• painted my dining room -- then hung pictures
• painted my living room -- again, hung pictures
• fixed the window in the den that had a big hole in it (a bit of an incident with a golf ball)
• cooked
• cleaned
• did laundry
• And, really, that's just the beginning of the list... Meet Betty Ann Graves. This sweet Gigi woke up with Chesson at 6:00 every morning (for two solid weeks), and then played with him until he went to bed each night. They went to the park, the kids museum, and gymnastics. They played in the pool, pushed the lawn mower, rode his bike, and went for walks. At the end of each day, Chesson had the most fun bath time he's every had. (I'm tired just thinking about all she did). She is basically the energizer bunny, and I am quite sure we wouldn't have survived without her. After playing with Chesson all day - Betty Ann peeled wallpaper for hours each night. Sarah jumped in to help out. It was a terrible job. I still can't believe the wallpaper is down!! A-mazing!

This is the wonderful woman who gave Anna Corbin a 2am bottle. She also rocked her for hours so I could sleep during the night. Unbelievable!! After being up all night with Anna Corbin, Sarah and Lawton took on the task of repainting our dining room. (We had already taking down wallpaper, and the bottom half was red.) They scraped off the glue left from the wallpaper, and then they painted. What?!! -- C'mon, I'm the luckiest girl in the word, right? Holt came into town for a few days, and he joined in the work party. He puttied holes and painted. And of course, played with Chesson and snuggled with Anna Corbin.

The North Carolina Graves LOVE the Florida Graves!! We miss you already!!
