We're Back!



Our month of July has been super busy! And I cannot believe that it is almost August ( I know I wrote that in my last post about July, but it is the truth how fast time is passing.) Anyways, we had a wonderful time up in Kentucky. We are went up there for the annual 4th of July weekend at the Lake house. It was so great to see all of my brothers and sisters, parents, and ofcourse our little niece and nephew. Maddie had such a wonderful time being able to run and play outside for more than 30 minutes and not be dripping in sweat. The weather was perfect and in fact got a little cool the last few days. Playing in the pool, hot tub and lake water was awesome. Maddie loves to swim and she was getting pretty independent the last couple of days there. Griffin enjoyed a dip or two in the water as well, but he still prefers his warm bath water!
We are back home now in Charleston, trying to get everything back together :) Griffin is growing so fast. He is 5 1/2 months now- sleeping and eating well. .Loves all the fruits and veggies (no meats yet... because baby brother doesn't have teeth -- at least that is what little Maddie tells me! HAHA!!). Reaches for things and laughing at just about anything Maddie says to him. He just ADORES her!
Maddie (now being a big 2 years old) is so fun, talking more than ever and being such the best big sister that parents could ever ask for. She loves playing outside and helping momma cook in the kitchen. So much fun!
We also had a ton of Birthday celebrations... Maddie 2yrs, Anna 1yr, Aunt Meggy's 30th, Addison 3yrs, Uncle Steffy's 25th.. so as you can imagine there was lots of healthy cake and ice cream!!! YUM
Here are a ton of pictures! Enjoy
