Landis LOVES Gainesville. He likes being with his Benton Grandparents and especially the very fun Uncles. We picked up Paul and his friend Lee from the Miami airport Friday evening and arrived here early Saturday morning. Landis woke up when we arrived and was very excited to see Uncle Paul and Nonny but sad that the younger uncles were sleeping. He was so happy the next morning when he woke up and realized where he was.

Today, Caleb and I weeded the garden in the backyard and Caleb shoveled up some ornamental grasses that had found their way into the garden area. We replanted them along the border of the bed in the back of the yard. Josh and Paul went to Paynes Prairie with Paul's friends to try out the Masai clubs Paul brought back from Tanzania on the alligators and watch the sunset. Caleb, Landis and I had a great time wrestling together. Landis loves to wrestle with the uncles.

We will be returning to Melbourne with the 2 youngest uncles in tow on Tuesday!
