Fathers Day

I know I am a little late with this one, but I have been having a difficult time uploading photos, but we had a wonderful day...Salmon, roasted potatos, salad and just celebrating the Dad's in our lives! Ryan loved playing with Grandpa in the pool.

Chris and Chloe just hanging out and keeping cool

When will Landon be big enough to play with us?

Here lately the dogs, Maggie and Fitch spend lots of time watching Landon play and wondering when he will be big enough to play with them?

They circle up around him when he is on the playmat and watch and wait, till they full asleep.

Landon loves his playmat, there is a mirror at the top and he loves watching himself in it, he also likes kicking the orange elephant and hearing it make a ringing noise.

Pirates & Potatoes

This past Saturday I was really looking forward to seeing some pirates! at the Elizabeth City Potato Festival, unfortunately there were only a couple of pirates and some fries! Disappointed? You bet! There were plenty of old cars and vendors selling stuff even homemade bags to store potatoes in but the only potatoes we saw were french fries. It was also very hot so we made our way over to the Museum of the Albermarle and surprise its a wonderful museum and free! Well they suggest a donation which we were happy to give just to get cool!

Landons Blessing Day

Yesterday was Landon's Blessing day, what a wonderful day, Charlie gave the blessing and did a great job, the blessing was beautiful, very spiritual this little man has a wonderful life ahead of him!
Sarah, Ed and family drove in from Indiana, late Friday night, actually early Saturday morning by the time they arrived and stayed for the Blessing and were back on the road for Indiana by 2:30pm Sunday, so thankful for the sacrifice that they made to be here for this special day, its not easy making a 12 hour drive (one way) with 3 little ones.

It was so nice to have almost everyone together at Church for Landon's special day, wish everyone could have been there with us.

I am so grateful for my children and grandchildren, they bless our lives everyday. I am especially grateful for Leah and the choices she is making for her and Landon's future.

Later that day everyone came over for dinner it is so much fun to see and have little kids around, cousins and friends playing together
