Busy Spring

Whew--it has been a busy spring and start of the summer! Between having a new baby and preparing for my brother's wedding in Minnesota we have been busy! We are loving life with the addition of our new baby girl--especially since we are getting pretty good sleep these days! Kevin took McLean on his first camping trip recently. Claire and I went to take pictures and eat with them. As soon as we set out the food, McLean said,"Dad aren't we supposed to eat those marshmallows first?" Too funny! We ate quickly and then the rain started. Thankfully, Kevin had already set the tent up. Claire and I saw that as the perfect opportunity to escape to our dry home. The boys stuck it out, roasted marshmallows, and played in the creek.

McLean was the most excited about bringing Buzz and Woody. He put them in the tent right after Kevin set it up!

We had a bird build a nest on our outdoor cabinet--right by the can of paint that needed to be thrown away! Here is the mama bird and one of the baby birds. I got to watch the other baby bird take it's first flight off the deck! So sweet! We have another bird here now and are waiting to see if there are any babies. This is my sweet soon-to-be sister-in-law, Porter-Ann. This was taken at one of her showers. My mom, Claire, and I made a girl's trip to Greensboro last weekend for the wedding showers.

We stayed with my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Mike and Sarah, in Summerfield for the weekend. Can I just say that Sarah is a wonderful cook and we enjoyed wonderful hospitality. It's always fun to visit with them!

This is our Claire meeting Kevin's sweet grandmother Claire for whom she is named! Gramma kept Claire for us while we went to one of the showers. Now it's time for us to finish working on the packing details for our trip!
