Summer Fun

We have been enjoying these hot summer fun months with family and friends. We have visited the GA aquarium, Six Flags Whitewater, and had tons of fun playing games, swimming, and just hanging out.

Baby time!

I had a great time at my good friend Jane's baby shower last weekend. We are so happy for Jane & BJ and are so exited to meet Baby Liam when he arrives in August.
I don't think I've officially posted our good news. We will have a little brother in our family in November. I am being carefully monitored as a high-risk pregnancy and repeat my pregnancy mantra several times a day "happy, healthy, full-term." We're hoping for the best! Alexander is super pumped about his new family role and asks daily "Am I a big brother yet?"

Missing Great Grandma

My 90-year-old grandma passed away on Saturday.  My memories of Grandma will last forever.  Like most of my childhood memories, my early memories of Grandma are sensory: the taste of the gooey rice crispy treats we always made when she came to visit, the smell of her Grandma perfume, and the sound of the Locy banter in her kitchen over a friendly game of euchre.  After spending over half of my life thousands of miles from my grandma, I was fortunate to live the last several years of hers only a hop, skip, and jump down the interstate.  I will always remember how her face lit up when little Alexander was in the room... how she loved to watch him play, to have him climb up in her lap, to get his hugs and kisses.  Grandma/Great Grandma- we will always love you and miss you... may you be at peace.

Renaissance Festival

We took a much needed family fun day at the Georgia Renaissance Festival today. Although Alexander can't easily pronounce its name (it comes out something like "vegetable vestible"), he had a blast seeing all the costumes. He especially liked the trumpets and drums at the joust, seeing the acrobats/jugglers, and the man on stilts.

Spring Break Fun

We spent a FABULOUS week in Panama City enjoying the beach with the Gladdens. Alexander has been in major beach withdrawal today and keeps asking when we can go back.
