River Repeat

We had so much fun on our first river trip of the season that we decided to make it 2 in a row. More good food, more fun with Grammy & Ernie, and another beautiful sunset. Earlier in the week we had 3 fun trips to the pool, a visit to Rob's office for an ice cream break and to celebrate Holden turning 9 months, and a hot but fun playdate at the farm. Life is good!

Dad's Day at the River

Holden made his debut trip to the river this weekend. We were spoiled by Grammy & Ernie...plenty of great food and full time babysitters. We left wishing we could stay another night and wondering why we don't go every weekend. Holden had a blast and slept until 10:30am the next morning.

Road Trip

Holden's first significant road trip is in the books. We headed down 95 to visit the South Carolina crew and celebrate David's birthday. Holden was a trooper, stopping only once during the 8 hour trip down and back. He had so much fun with cousins Molly, Lindsey, and Hannah and is completely bored being back at home with just us. I didn't have our camera so here are some pictures courtesy of Chris' awesome camera and photography skills. Love

Can you see my top teeth? Sophie made the trip and came in handy since he cut 2 more teeth during our visit. He now has a grand total of 6 teeth.Making David's guitar birthday cake
