Baby Boy Twins
On Thursday, we got to meet Aidan and Kellan, the Crutchfield baby boy twins! They are so super sweet! It was fun to hold those little sweet babies but they are growing fast! Kelly is doing great and it was a blast to have dinner and spend time together!

Happy Birthday to Andy!
So it has been about a month since our last post! We have a good excuse - Elle and Cara were in Colorado for three weeks and Andy was there for the middle 9 days. It was a wonderful trip - we spent the middle week in Estes Park, CO! It was so fun to hike and eat and just hang out with the entire family (about 22 total) in the beautiful mountains!
Elle is now 16 months old and she is learning something new everyday so each day is very exciting! She says many words (our favorites: black beans, good girl, Sara, shoes, mouth, ear, night-night) and she can repeat most of the letters of the alphabet when we go through it. The big news is that she is now walking like a champ! Before Estes she would take a step here or there but then in the cabin in Estes (with carpeting unlike our house) she just took off walking fast and has not stopped since!
She loves to dance and swim and we have been doing a lot of that this summer! Here are some fun pictures from the past couple of weeks. The latest is from our Birthday celebration tonight for Andy's Birthday - Happy 32nd Birthday, Andy!!

Summer Time!
It has been a little too long since our last update because of our wonderful Seattle & Portland trip! Elle had a wonderful 9 days with Papa Swan and GMom (Elle calls them "Papa" and "G"). We missed her so much but we had a much needed adults only vacation filled with adventures, lots of sleep and delicious food! We did the Seattle Rock 'N' Roll 1/2 Marathon and it was a beautiful route and tons of fun! We raised $8600 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society so it was a very meaningful event. In Seattle we visited Leigh and Deb and then Ando hosted us in Portland! What a great trip!
Here are a couple of pics of our trip and an updated pic of Elle - 15 months old! She is a talker! Her vocab: doggie, mama, dada, papa, YaYa, G, quack-quack (when she sees a duck), cheese, teeth, puppy, uh-oh, shoes, baby, poopy, black beans (her first two words together and one of her favorite foods)... and probably a couple others that I am forgetting! And she has not walked by herself yet; she is only walking with a helping hand. She is crawling VERY fast and going up and down the stairs like a pro!

Great Visits!
Gram, Uncle Jim & Aunt Judi came to visit last weekend and it was so much fun! It was so cool to see Gram with her two great grandchildren, Elle and Jensen! Gram, thanks for flying all this way to see us!
Uncle Ronnie visited Atlanta and it was great to spend time together at Melissa and Drew's house! He will be going to Iraq later this month so we loved spending time with him with before he leaves. We love you, Uncle Ronnie!

Beach & First Haircut
Last weekend for Memorial Day, Cara went to Destin, FL with her AU girlfriends and Andy and Elle spent the weekend in St.Simons with the Barfield family! Both parties had an excellent time! Cara enjoyed relaxing and catching up with her friends while the Barfields loved watching Elle enjoy the sand, the ocean waves, the beach club pool and the playground! It was a wonderful long weekend!
Elle had her first haircut today. She was so good and she was cracking us up with how serious she was about the entire affair. She loves her new cut... although I doubt anyone can tell that we did anything!

Teeth & Spaghetti
Elle is 13 months today! Here are some baby updates:
Elle has 6 teeth now - two on top and four on the bottom. She has added "ball" to her word list for a total of 5 words. She does not seem to want to walk although she enjoys holding our hands to walk but only when we initiate it (we are very happy since she is active enough crawling!). She loves most all foods (see spaghetti pic) which is such a blessing! She is now drinking milk after no longer nursing this month... She hated cows milk at first so this is a huge step. And she is allergic to eggs, which we discovered because of a nasty reaction to her Birthday cake! So things are exciting in the Barfield house! Andy and I are training for the Seattle half marathon at the end of June so we are getting in some serious mileage! We did 8 miles on Sunday! YAH!
Love to you!
