Home Sweet Home

Well it has been another great visit with the family. Aunt Mary, Mom, Dad and Great Gma Alice all arrived on Tuesday evening to spend a few days with us. The weather has cooperated nicely and although Aaron and I each had to work, it has been a nice visit. Yesterday we took full advantage of the nice weather and time together, by taking a trip to Columbia to Finlay Park to celebrate freedom festival.

I forgot a hat for little Avery so we improvised and used the sling. She loves her sling and I will be sad when she outgrows it.

Kendall and daddy had a great time running and playing in the park.

Who ya gunning for ladies?

Kendall was a bit scared to sit in the helicopters on display....

But she overcame her fear with daddy's help and for the chance to climb the little ladder.

Aunt Mary and mom finally have some time to relax and take in some sun...instead of cleaning and doing my laundry.

We were so glad that Great Gma Alice could come down to see us as well.

It has also been a week of firsts...Kendall learned to blow bubbles with Gma Rosies' help. She was so excited she literally shook with joy!

Here we are all sitting down to enjoy a home-cooked meal of Stouffer's lasagna.

While Avery had a couple of crying jags while they were here (which is very un-like her), she finally warmed up and enjoyed some time with Gma Alice. She also hit a milestone this week -she rolled from her tummy to her back, first for Ms. Cindy and then a few times at home.

Aaron and Avery are pulling in the drive as we speak with our next round of visitors - Uncle Adam and Grammie. So more pictures and descriptions of events to come...
