A Quiet Week At Home

We spent a quiet week at home playing blocks and going to the pool.  I am hoping that our summer will continue to be this laid back. 

Emma Grace is such a content baby.

 Charlotte's latest past time is building towers...

 and knocking them down.

A Daddy and His Girls

Tim is the best daddy a girl could ask for!

Summer's Official Start!!

The girls and I spent last week with my parents in Yorktown.  Charlotte and Emma made their first official visit to the beach. A must if they are my daughters. We also played in the pool a couple days and took a trip to the zoo.  For me this was really the beginning of summer.  I have so many wonderful summer memories with my mom and sister and I can't wait to starting creating more with my girls!

 Charlotte's first time at the beach...she is already a beach bum!

 What a cutie!

 

Off to the the Strawberry Patch We Go!

This Saturday we hopped in the car and drove about 40 minutes to a small strawberry festival in Scottsville. We had a great time wondering through strawberry fields and eating lunch with a country music band in the background.  Charlotte and Tim even went down a large blow up slide (sorry no pictures the camera ran out of battery).  I am still not sure what I am going to do with all the strawberries.  Do you have any favorite Strawberry recipes?

 I am looking for the juiciest strawberry I can find.

I think I found it!

Now for the taste test...

 Off to pick a few more.

Miscellany Monday

Today I thought I would share a few miscellaneous pictures from the last week.  I hope you enjoy!

  Charlotte fell and bumped her lip on the concrete...here she is showing off her boo boo!

 

Emma is still loving her thumb and could care less about her pacifier.

 Beautiful flowers in the neighbor's yard!

 Here is our house that God has so graciously blessed us with.

 Emma enjoying her Bumbo.

On any given day you can find Charlotte painting at the kitchen table.

Ahoy! It's a Boy!

Last weekend I helped throw a baby shower for one of my sweet friends here in Roanoke. The theme was Ahoy! It's a Boy! It was a wonderful time of food and fellowship. We are all very anxious for little Andrew's arrival!                                                                   

 

Sweet Moments

Even though some days I want to pull my hair I out I love being home with my girls. I can't imagine missing these precious moments!

Charlotte topped off her princess nightgown with pearls, silver anklet, my shoes and of course her paci...what a fashionista.

Eyes for her Daddy!

What a sweet smile!

I was putting away laundry and when I turned around this is what I found. It melted my heart.

Emma loves her bath time.
