Boo Boo


It's been about a year since we lost our "1st born" & I've just been thinking about him lately. Life has changed A LOT since we first got Benny but we were all very surprised with his reaction to RK becoming part of the family...he wanted to be near her all the time. He was with us almost 10 years but it wasn't long enough...we miss you, Monster.

Father's Day
The day before Father's Day
Dave always makes jokes about how every day is Mother's Day at our house and in my life...and it really is. Dave works so hard for our family everyday and has since we decided to enter into this journey together...he has moved 3 times, because I asked him to, he earned his Masters Degree to make our life better; during that time he travelled back and forth from Atlanta to Brunswick because I wanted to move the store here (which, by the way, he totally supported and encouraged me to open a store that may or may not produce a purposeful paycheck). Not to mention the fact that he never complains---which irritates me A LOT! My favorite thing is to see him with our children...they light up when he is around. I couldn't have asked for a better guy and I knew that when I married him and especially when we had kids.
Our neighbor has a boat and has been trying to set up a time that worked so that he and Dave could go fishing...he called Friday to see if Dave wanted to go on Saturday morning. So, of course, it being Father's Day weekend, I wanted him to go have fun...he deserves it. But he didn't go. He told Eric that since I had the day off on Saturday he wanted to spend the day with his family. All we did was run errands all day...not very exciting. We did have a nice dinner with my parents and then we went to the pier and played on the playground. Nothing grand but it was one of the best days we've had in a long time. My joy is truly my family and it thrills me that I live with a man that feels the same way...

RK swims...
Here is a video of RK swimming all by herself for the 1st time. Well, really its the 2nd time. She was just talking away, as usual, and didn't realize no one was holding her anymore...we were all surprised...especially her! Thanks to Mimi and Uncle for sharing your new pool!
Oh, and in the video she talks about going Bowling for the 1st time the night before. Sorry, I forgot the camera. I'm sure we'll go again soon because she LOVED it and she beat us all!

Big Sister
This is what happens when you have a big sister...you get to have tea parties & wear fun accessories starting at a young age! RK loves it now that Sam sits up better and is "grabby" as she puts it. I am also VERY happy to report that he has been eating sweet potatoes for the last two days and seems to be getting the hang of it. We tried about a month ago and he wasn't interested so I'm glad to know that I will not have to go to 1st grade with him because he will still be nursing! :)

It's Summer...
RK: Please may I swim in my pool?
Mommy: Sure. You know what? You don't need your bathing suit.
You can just go skinny dipping if you want...
RK: Mommy, that's silly! I'm not a chip!
...I love that girl!
