Bedtime stories and snuggles with Gran.
Dave's parents' house is great for spending time outside! There's so much to do! They have it childproofed and ready for fun!
We celebrated McKenna turning 2 with the fam!
Everyone enjoyed the cake...can ya tell? :o)
Fun presents!!!
Testing out McK's new sprinkler and cooling off in the "pools" :)
Matilda provided plenty of entertainment with bubbles, while McK rocked out on the piano!
Eli was a good helper to Uncle David and a trip would not be complete without taking a picture of the little cousins in the bathtub!We scooted over to Knoxville for a few days and got to meet up with my lifelong friend Jennifer. Her little Ty is just a few days younger than McKenna. We got to go to their house for lunch, exchange presents for the kids, and catch up! Thanks Eidemillers!!!
The wedding site was beautiful so we took some time to pose for some pics! McKenna didn't quite make it through the ceremony, so she got to play outside with Dave and got nice a sweaty!
During the reception, McKenna cooled off and hit the dance floor with Pop :)
Celebrating AGAIN for our BIG TWO YEAR OLD!!!!
Pop and Gigi got McK a beautiful dress, bow, umbrella, and a nice sand/water table that was already in Jacksonville!
We got to stay at my Uncle Ross and Aunt Le's house! We got good use out of their basement and toys! My cousin Rebecca came over with her 3 kids and turned up the fun a notch!I jumped on the chance to get my parents' lifelong friends together for a chance to reconnect and catch up! Jennifer helped me reserve a beautiful clubhouse and everyone helped with food. It was such a sweet and special time to see my parents with friends they've had for over 20 years. It made me understand that the friendships we are making, at this time in our life, have the makings for doing life together with these friends for the next 20 + years! I'm banking on seeing some of the friends we have now at OUR 30th wedding anniversary party!
Jennifer, Emily, and Me have been friends since I was in 3rd grade! Our kids are all around the same age. It was so cool to see them play together!
Our moms were friends first, then we became friends, and we pray our children will form friendships even through the distance that separates us! The group to the right is everyone that could make it (minus Jim and Susan Clayton)...also Emily was standing in for her Mom who was outside entertaining kids!We swung back through Cleveland to get a few more minutes with family before heading back to Jax! It was a good trip!
Looking for butterflies with Gran and getting hugs from Eli!
Lastly, we stopped in Newnan, GA to visit with Dave's childhood friend, Brandon, and his family. Brandon got called into work, but his wife Charlotte and daughter Chloe were grand hostesses! We toured their lovely home that they've been working on and then had lunch together! We missed seeing Brandon, but were thankful for the afternoon with his lovely girls :)
