Fun Times with Family

"the girls table"-Karina, Sophie, Ellie, & Gracie had fun eating together

Caleb has such a sweet smile!

Here are our girls with their Daddy!

Last week, we had fun celebrating Matt's birthday with my side of the family and with our immediate family. We went out to dinner at Outback with my family. Later in the week, we were excited to be able to spend time with some of my first cousins and their children. One of my cousins, Craig, and his wife, Megan, came in from Northern VA with their 3 kids. Our children are close in age and they don't get to see each other very often, so they had a great time! Thanks for hosting dinner for all of us, Jim and Linda!

Recent Happenings

I haven't been doing very well at taking pictures lately so forgive me for that. It has just been hot, hot, hot here. We've been to play at our neighborhood pool a few times. One day Sophie & I met Cooper, a little boy from church, and his mom, Alison. Everyone had a good!

Last Friday was Matt's 30th birthday. We invited a few couples over to have dinner with us and celebrate. One of our friends took pictures so I'll have to get him to e-mail them to me. They made Matt wear a hilarious looking hat with a big birthday cake and candles on it that said, "Over the hill."

We should definitely have some pictures to share soon because Sophie and I are flying to Raleigh tonight to meet Matt (he's been there doing training this week). Then, the 3 of us will drive to Myrtle Beach, SC on Friday to meet Matt's family for a much needed vacation. We are really excited about spending time at the beach relaxing and having fun with Matt's family.
