Fun with Family

I, Jamie, have been recovering from a minor surgery last week, the girls have been having lots of fun with family! Thanks to everyone who has been stepping in to help while I recover.

Anna and Ellie are trying to learn to crawl

"hi cousin!"

Ice Cream Truck

Yesterday afternoon I realized that the house was quiet for about two minutes. When I went to look for Gracie I found her in her room looking out the window. She was watching the ice cream truck as it drove by!

Pool Time

We had fun hanging out in the pool this morning with cousin Nate! It has been warm here, but still NOTHING compared to North Carolina humidity.

Mammoth

We just got back from a week in Mammoth with the White side of the family. We had such a great time. Thanks for the wonderful week, Whites/Pattersons!

The "condo" we stayed in was beautiful . . . and HUGE

Enjoying Life

Anna is enjoying her "Command Center" as we affectionately call it.

Anna is almost 5 months old!

Great Grandpa loves to share his ice cream sandwiches with Gracie, and Anna loves to watch!

Anna is now sitting in her Bumbo seat and eating baby food. Gracie of course loves to watch (and help)!

Anna loves to eat, but has had to learn how to swallow real food!
