10 Months

Alexander is such a happy, cuddly, loveable little man.  I can not squeeze him enough! This month he has really gotten into waving "Hi" and "Bye" and clapping. He has quite a repertoire of noises including a "G", "Mmmm", "Ba Ba", Uh, Oh, a pterodactyl squeal, a monster growl and a variety of other "happy noises". He is moving to more finger foods and has found puffs, yogurt melts, black beans, grapes, cheese, banana bits, and avocado slices quite intriguing. He is rolling all over the house on the floor and in his walker.  He likes to sit and play with toys. He has been pulling his legs under him and is doing push-ups but not at once... I love his big smiles!!!

Memorial Day Brunch

We took advantage of the long weekend and got together a few of Peter's high school buddies and their families.  We started the day with a fantastic brunch, lots of play time inside and out and a fun family dinner out at Brixx Pizza. It is such a treat to get together these old friends, catch-up, reminisce and enjoy watching our kids have fun together!

 

Thanks to the Ross, Simmons, and Medlin families for making the trip to Cary!

Sea Dragons 2015

Kate and Max decided they wanted to give swim team a try this summer. The season began this week. They are totally excited about being Sea Dragons, having the team suit and caps, swimming in the lap pool, jumping off the blocks and being surrounded by their friends from school and the neighborhood. It is going to be such a fun summer!

Last Day of Preschool

Anna's year in Ms. Diane and Ms. Sandra's class has come to a close.  Anna LOVED going to school each and every day.  Her teachers were so sweet and worked so hard to to make each day fun and exciting. Anna loved playing with her friends, playing outside on the new playground, doing projects and performing on stage. We feel especially blessed that her teachers and the program director, Ms. M, were willing to work together with me to make this year a reality for Anna.  I truly can not thank them enough for making our little girl so excited about going to preschool.

Emma's Frozen Birthday

The other BIG celebration this weekend was Emma's 6th birthday.  Oh my, the kids had a BLAST at her pool party.  Aunt Liz went above and beyond with fun projects, a scavenger hunt, the most amazing Elsa cake EVER and lots of POOL TIME!  Alexander enjoyed his first experience in the pool and screamed with excitement the entire time!

 

Happy Birthday Emma!

We love you always and forever!

Emma's Ballet Recital

We had a fun weekend celebrating cousin Emma. We started the weekend at the Greensboro Cultural Arts Center to see Emma's ballet recital.  It was absolutely precious!!!  Emma used ballet to tell the story of Rapunzel - truly adorable.

Seriously Fun Field Day!!!
