Brothers

Love these boys

Happy Birthday, Woof woofs!

As a follow up to the conversation about the Woof woofs' birthday, we did make them cupcakes and sing to them! Here's a few shots of the Woof woof's birthday party!

Family

Eli's first trip to Greer was so fun! We were able to see lots of family and friends all in one long weekend!

Banks loves being the big cousin! He did a great job holding both Mac and Eli!

Proud grandparents holding the babies!

Tradd came to visit! Love this picture with all the little boy cousins hanging out. Wow... that's a lot of little boys who are going to be getting into loads of trouble one day!

We also had such a nice visit with "Mom," Jonathan's grandmother and Banks and Eli's great-grandmother. Eli gave her lots of good snuggles!

Eli at 3 months

Dear Eli,

You are getting so big! Where does the time go?! At 3 months, your little personality is really starting to show! You smile with your whole body... you start with a smile, then your eyes light up and your whole body starts to wiggle with excitement! You just love to be noticed and talked to - like you just appreciate the attention!



You respond more now to Banks when he talks to you - and you light up for him too! He really loves you "Baby Bruder Eli!"


You talk and coo all the time - I love to hear your sweet little voice talking to me!


You like to lay on your back and play with your toys on the play mat. Really, sometimes you prefer this to being held. Your daddy and I have noticed that sometimes you just want to be left alone for a while with your toys! Fair enough.

Do you see how proud Banks is to be your big brother!? He loves you so much.


We can't wait to see all the fun you boys have together as you grow!

We love you sweet baby boy...
Mommy and Daddy

My Girls

A few weeks ago I was able to see Missy and Cindy and their beautiful girls! Cindy was down visiting Missy in NC, and we were up visiting Jonathan's family, so we met at Monkey Joe's for a little fun play time with the kids!



I never thought when we girls became BFF so many years ago (middle school... wow!) that this would be us 15-20 years down the road (that makes us sound old!!)!

Bella is the oldest - and she was so excited to hold Eli! And, she did a really great job! Eli wasn't going anywhere under her watch! Isn't she just beautiful?

I love these girls... what a blessing they have been to me for so many years. God was so good to give me these beautiful women in my life!

Green thumb?

Banks has been begging to plant things this spring. We're trying cucumbers and tomatoes. Wish us luck!
