It's Summertime!

Well what a busy week it has been. This week we had out of town friends in. My best friend Sarah and her son Alex came in from St. Louis on Monday. Alex is 2 1/2 now and a ball of energy! Usually I go out and visit Sarah and her family in August and go on a float trip with her friends and family but this summer we switched it up in lue of baby Maddie's arrival.

Their visit was filled with trips around our town (to the downtown park), a trip to the aquarium and beach, and then a long but well worth it trip to Charlotte for July 4th.

During our trip to Charlotte, we visited with Matt, Sarah, Mom, Uncle Bev, Grama Jink, Todd, Christy, Kristen, Aunt Cathy an Uncle David. This was the first visit Maddie had with the Cobb side of the family. The trip was great!

Spending time with Sarah D. really made me wish that she and I lived closer, so we could hang out and our children could grow up together. Its hard to believe she and I have been friends for almost 10 years! We started off footloose and fancy free, and now we both have great growing families of our own.

Maddie is doing well. She is growing everyday. She is full of smiles and is holding her head up strong, when proped up by daddy or looking over mommy's shoulder. Today she has been super fussy, but I am sure like all of us she is just having a moody day :) She is enjoying our late evening walks around the neighborhood in our stroller. This is a blessing being able to get back into exercise mode! We are getting ready for bath time now so, bye and I hope you enjoy the pictures!
