Our Happy Guy

Daddy's Helper

When we got back from the beach our car needed to be washed badly. Anna helped Keith out, making sure that this was the cleanest spot on the car.

Enough hard work, time to play in the water!

More Beach

Nate and Uncle Rob got some good bonding in.
















Anna and Rob playing with her ducks in the hot tub.
















Doing Pat-A-Cake. Nate liked it :)
















Can you tell who entertained Anna all week? She loved "playing" the X Box.






















We went out to the beach for some family pictures our last night.

Nate at the Beach

Little guy's first time on the beach.













The first time we went out during the day Nate wasn't a big fan, but felt much better when Gran Ran snuggled with him.















So sweet!

This was a much cooler day so we could swaddle him. He loves his Miracle Blanket. If you're having a baby you have to get one!

Sweet face :)

Happy guy in the car on the way home (before he realized that he was stuck in his carseat for the long haul, not so happy after that).

Beach Time!

After the wedding we headed to Nags Head, NC with Gran Ran, Aunt Katie, and Uncle Rob for a fun and relaxing week. Unlike last year, Anna wasn't a fan of being in the water, but loved playing in the "giant sandbox."
















Rob buried Keith and she wanted to be buried too.

Breaking free!

Headed to the water to get all of that sand off.

She turned right back around when she felt how cold the water was!

Flower Girl Anna

2 weekends ago we travelled to the Eastern Shore of Virginia for my cousin Jake's wedding. Anna was the flower girl. After 14 hours in the car in 2 days and 2 days in a row of missed naps she was a little wired, to say the least. It was a beautiful weddin though and we had a great time! Here she is chasing the ring bearer, Wyatt. She was very excited about him and he wasn't quite sure what to make of her. Can't say that I blame him, she was definitely a crazy girl!
















Anna chatting with my cousin, Brooke.















The wedding party.
















I think this picture shows what kind of mood Anna was in that day!














Poor Wyatt! He did warm up to her later at the reception though when she shared her stickers with him :)

Anna and the beautiful bride. We're so glad to have you in the family Natalie!
