Vero Beach, FL

This past weekend we went to Vero Beach. It was our first real family vacation and Amelia's first trip to the beach. We had some family business to take care of, but then it was all beaches and playgrounds!!

Amelia and Daddy at the playground.

She was a bit hesitant about the swings.....

I love this look!

Playing in the sand... she was pretty scared of the water.

My beautiful bronzed baby wanted more sunscreen!!!

Looking down at the beach....

Amelia was ready to go!! Grabbed her bag and headed off to the hotel.

The end.

Catching Up

Over Memorial Day, we went to a Gwinnett Braves game with Aunt Christa. We had a lot of fun!! What a great stadium!!

This weekend, we played in the backyard. Pushed our bubble mower and got in the turtle pool!

Mom captured a short video of Amelia walking....

Sick Baby

Friday night, Amelia came down with a bad fever and a rash. On top of that, she is cutting not one, not two, but three molars right now. All weekend, she was miserable. Monday, we made it in to see the doctor and learned that she has hand, foot, & mouth disease. UGH!! Thankfully, its common and is already on the mend. But, she can't go to school because its highly contagious to kids. So, I am loving being at home with her. Especially now that she is feeling better. Here is a shot of her eating her 1st Popsicle!

Weekend Fun

We have had a busy weekend!

We attended a birthday party for Miss Julia Baggett on Saturday at Chuck E. Cheese. It was our first time going to Chuck E. Cheese and we had a blast!! Happy Birthday, Julia!!

After that, we went looking at new houses. We ended up in Suwanee and took some time to enjoy their downtown area. Amelia was fascinated by the fountains. She has no fear!!!!

Sunday, Amelia and Eric took me to lunch at one of my favorite places to eat - Mary Mac's! My gift was to have a canvas portrait of Amelia framed. Its just beautiful! Then, we went to the Children's Museum for some late afternoon fun!!

What a great life we have. We are so blessed!!

Easter Weekend

We had a great weekend! We kicked it off Friday by having lunch with our good friends Sam and her daughter Cate. We met at Longhorns and the girls had a great time laughing and saying hello and eating good food!!

Saturday, we went to Baxley to visit Grannie Eloise and Uncle Vance. It was a long trip back and forth, but well worth it. On the way down, Amelia had her 1st Happy Meal from McDonald's!!!

Sunday, of course, was church. Amelia got all dressed up in another dress from Aunt Anne in New Mexico.

Palm Sunday

Its been quite a few Sundays since we went to church ... ear infections, runny noses, etc. But, today, we got dressed up for an important message - Palm & Passion Sunday. Amelia was decked out in a new dress from Aunt Anne in New Mexico! Thank you!!

After church....
