Gavin- 4 months!

4 months, and what a big boy!

Height- 25 in.- 47%

Weight- 14lb 10oz- 34%

Gavin is growing and doing so much now!  I am so happy that we are able to be home now for the summer to experience these milestones with him!  

He is now "eating" some foods!  Yes, most of it ends up all over his face and bib, but we're getting there.  He likes cereal, peas, peaches and pears so far!  We can't wait to introduce more foods to him.  Hopefully I will be able to make some food for him, too!

All that eating wears me out!

What a happy boy!

Can I help you with something?

7 years...

... and no itching going on here!

No seven year itch for us!  I think I'll keep him!  It's hard to believe that we've been married for seven years- what a wild, fun, crazy, exciting time it's been.  I'm so glad this man decided that I got to be the one to spend my life with him.  He's such a fun and hard-working guy.  I love his laugh, his smile, that dimple, his hugs and kisses, his company and so much more.  We have been through moves, job changes, new cars, 2 pregnancies (he deserves a medal for sticking with me through those!), and so many other life events I can't even keep up with them all.  I may be biased, but I think we're a pretty good couple!  I can't wait for all the adventures yet to come.  Love you Dustin!

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day!  We headed down to South Carolina to spend some time with the McCollums.  We spent the weekend with Dustin's parents then on Tuesday helped Benji and Katie move into their first home!  (We figured we owed him... he's helped us move and do manual labor more times than I can count!)  Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of that!

Papa found an old glove and ball in the garage that Rachel got to play with...

 I don't think she's going to be the most athletic of all children...

 Sibling bath time!

Fun in the sprinkler!

Story Time!

 Benji and Katie surprised Dad M. and came down Sunday night for a few hours!

Grandma went out at got a "watering pool" for Rachel.  (I have no idea why she calls it that, or where she got that name, oh well, it's cute!)

We stopped in North Carolina to see the great-grandparents on the way home

Rachel loves her stories! 

There was a movie being filmed in Madison while we were there, so we went down to try and see something, but this was about all we got.  

But while we were there, we saw Dustin's Aunt Jean and cousin Amy trying to see something too!  They were so excited to meet Gavin!
