Papa Connie's Birthday

 

Daddy's shoes

I was sitting in the kitchen and heard clunk, clunk. So I jumped up and saw this... I grabbed the camera and he immediately stopped clomping to say "Cheeeeese!"

Then he carried on...

Pardon the beer belly.

On Tuesday, I played hooky from work and went to visit my newest nephew, Dawit's future playmate.

We mostly just stood around looking at him, admiring his good looks, and wondering when he would wake up!

Proud mom and dad:

Pre-diaper change:

Diaper change:

We were all happy to see him drink 5 ccs of formula. That's a teaspoon!

His Nana:

And voila, he woke up! Right as we were leaving. And he said, "Okay, enough with the flash photography already. A guy's trying to sleep!"

Celebrating Savannah

Last weekend we spent the day at the Hiwassee River celebrating cousin Savannah's 4th birthday. As you can see, this cutie is all girl, even taking her Barbies and Ariels for a dip in the river. Caroline, on the other hand, wore camoflage and basketball shorts. She inherited my sense of fashion.

Nineteen of us (plus one dog) hit the river.

Some were brave enough to body surf the freezing water.

Weekend adventures

Actually, two weekends ago.

An after-nap popsicle...

Hanging with dad at Spring Creek...

Hanging with BFF Sarah and being princesses...

Paddling Roaring River with Sarah and fam...
