Nana's Visit and Playing in the H20

Here are the rest of the pictures that I was promising.


Monroe and Nana reading a book!



Monroe and Mommy playing in the pool at Staunton River State Park.



Monroe plays with the splash mat in the yard.

We are all really looking forward to Monroe starting at the new school next month. He got his boarding pass last week and he gets to visit in a few weeks. Very exciting.

So much going on in July!

Well it took some begging and several threats, but I am finally updating the blog pictures. Monroe is really getting big now. He's walking pretty well now, although he still stumbles quite a bit. He definitely knows what he wants these days and is not afraid to whine until he gets it. He loves to figure how things work and trying to fit things together.

These first pictures are from the fireworks at Genworth on the third of July. That was a wonderful day that we got to share with our friends! We had a picnic and sat around in the grass listening to the patriotic music. Monroe spent most of the time going in the cooler for watermelon or ice. It was such a great weekend that I can't wait to do it again next year!





These are our friends RT and Molly who met us at the fireworks. It was great having them around!


The next two pictures are of Matthew and Monroe at Lewis Ginter on the Fourth of July. The garden was really crowded and hot, but we still had fun.



That's all the pictures for today, but check back next week and I'll post the pictures from my mom's visit! If you check back and I haven't posted yet, then just cut out a few magazine letters and drop me a note. That seems to get me moving.
