In Love...

Where have we been???  Here, there and EVERYWHERE!

Summer has started off with a bang.  Peyton had her end of the year program at school and then we headed to Wrightsville Beach, NC with the Spencer Family for a FUN filled Memorial day weekend.  The kids all had such a blast together. Peyton, Gray and Malia ran and played allllll day long and then played some more at the kids' club in the evenings. The babies ate sand and toddled around.  The biggest news is that Parker walked for the FIRST time!!!  He was so so so cute on the beach.  All in all, it was a FABULOUS retreat and we really enjoyed our time with the Spencers.

Just one week later we packed up and headed South to Florida. We made a pit stop in Savannah so that Chris could work and then it was homeward bound! We stayed for two nights in East Lake at MiMi's house, then dropped the kids at G-ma and G-pa's and made our way to Fort Lauderdale for a wedding.  We had a great weekend lounging at the beach (kid free) and catching up with old friends! Then we came back to Seminole for a nice visit and some time on the boat. 
Peyton even caught her first fish (and it was on her Barbie fishing pole)! 
I think it was one of Daddy's proudest moments! :)
The drive back was long but uneventful and the kids did great! We had a wonderful 10 day trip, but still didn't get to fit in everything we wanted to do.  I would have loved to have gotten together with the EL gals and their kiddos.  I supposed another visit is in order!










...on the road again!


A few milestones have graced our home lately: Parker walking continues to make us smile.  He is just so sweet and cute!  I want to squeeze him all the time!
Peyton rode her bike with us for over 5 miles and never complained even one time!  This is a fun achievement and we are excited to take her out on more biking adventures.  She has also started swim lessons and is excelling tremendously.

Much Summer Love!
