Uncle Ja-Quawn Comes For A Visit!

 Chris's younger brother Ja-Quawn is visiting us this week to celebrate Chris's birthday. I think it's probably one of the best gifts my hubby could of received. We haven't seen Ja-Quawn since we last visited their hometown of Portland, Oregon a few years back when I was pregnant with Kal-el. Last night was his first time meeting both of his nephews! Chris picked him up from the Nashville airport a little before 7pm. Even though Kal-el had not had a nap the entire day he forced himself to stay awake so he could meet "Uncle Quawn" for the first time. Surprisingly, Kal-el warmed up to him in record timing with only a few minutes of initial shyness. Ten minutes into his arrival he was following him around, asking for him by name, and playing ball with him...so sweet :) Today they are best buddies. Kal-el could hardly wait for him to come down the stairs this morning so he could spend some more time with him. Ja-Quawn is an absolute natural with the boys. He's a fabulous uncle and I know Chris is so glad to finally see his brother after 3 years. We are going to miss him when he leaves next week! Family is so important to me and it's especially important to me that my children know their family in Oregon. I can't wait until we visit this coming fall.  In the mean time we plan on having a fun filled week for his first visit to Alabama. Chris's birthday dinner will take place tomorrow night and we have lots of other site seeing to do. He will even get to accompany us in taking the kids to see Santa this year..We haven't really told him how that played out last year with just Kal-el...lol..but at the rate we're going now Super is likely to be on his best behavior for his new best buddy...Uncle Ja-Quawn :)
