Colorado & Florida & Daddy's Birthday!

What a fun and busy month! We spent almost three weeks in Colorado with the family and at the family reunion in Estes Park; then another couple of days in Florida (Anderson & Cara) for a Miami meeting but mostly for fun with Sonja, Joe and Hannah; and then Daddy's 34th Birthday was yesterday so we celebrated with cupcakes and song. A highlight of the summer was Elle getting 9 inches of her hair cut off for Locks of Love. See the before and after shot. She says she likes having "medium hair." I am having trouble downloading the Florida shots of Hannah and Anderson so those will have to come later. Love to all!

July

So I need at least one July post so here we are! It has been a busy and fun month! G and Papa were here for a week, Phil and our Bowdey cousins were here for another week and the last week of the month we are here in Colorado (and we will be here for two more)! Lots of fun travel! Elle is maturing so fast and I cannot believe what a sweet young lady she is turning into! Anderson is 10 months old now and he is crawling and eating pretty much everything! Here are some pictures of our July fun!

Busy summer

What a fun summer so far! Lots of playing outside in the sprinkler and at the Gerdas, a trip to our friends, the Powells cabin in NC, Fathers Day and now we are in Savannah for the weekend! Elle has worn her tutu bathing suit nearly every day, whether or not we are going swimming. She calls herself a ballerina. Anderson is 9 months old now! He has 6 teeth and is eating lots of people food, babbling a lot and rolling around everywhere. No crawling yet but that is just fine with us! Love to you!

Oh happy day!

Yesterday we welcomed Andy's sister Melissa's baby boy into the world! Reid is a complete cutie pie and totally chill! We all enjoyed pizza together in the hospital tonight! Congratulations to Melissa and Drew on their sweet bundle of joy!

Weekend at Gerdas

Andy was out of town this weekend for a good friends bach party so the kids and I spent the weekend with the Gerdas! We had a fun weekend of playing in the sprinkler and baby pool, swinging and running around like crazy. Anderson is now eight months and he and Keaton (5 months) love to spend baby time together. Elle is very into dressing up so I also included a pic of her in the ballerina outfit that our neighbor gave us and Elle now rarely takes it off!

Easter fun & early May

We had a fabulous Easter with the Barfield family! Egg hunt in the front yard, checking out Melissa's newly decorated nursery, and delicious food! May has been amazingly beautiful and mild (for Atlanta)! Elle is enjoying her last weeks of preschool and Anderson is enjoying everything! :) Elle loves to dress up and this picture of her in her Dorothy costume is not a picture from last Halloween; this is what Elle insisted she wear to school on Tuesday.

Spring is here

Is is absolutely gorgeous weather in Atlanta and we are enjoying the spring!! We have spent lots of time outside lately and enjoying our neighborhood parks! Anderson is 7 months and Elle is loving being a three year old "big girl." Here are some pictures of the family Birthday celebration and some park shots. Lots of love to you all!
