Liv had to do a modeling pose too.

The Sad Face

Ian Meets His Peeps

Ian's first trip to New Orleans....trust me, he is in the infant carrier wearing a hat.

Uncle Chad and Aunt ("We are at high risk") Mandy came from California to get some Ian time.

Nanny gets to hold the little man while Daddy is left to slave over the sink.


Hanging with my three cousins: Emily, Olivia and Matthew.

Ian's Social Calendar

Ian was a busy little guy over the weekend. Saturday he spent time with his "Bo" and "MiMi" in Star.

"Granny" spent a few nights with him here in Hattiesburg.

Sunday, he went to church for the first time...he was very well-behaved!!








To wrap up the great weekend....he had to go to the doctor Monday and get his 2 month shots!
Note the band-aids on both little thighs.
Don't worry, he got some much needed special treatment from Mommy and Daddy!

Em's travels

Cheer camp last week. They won best something (?) and the spirit stick.

Captain Emily and her crew.
Fun at youth camp (the week before)
The guy in the brown shirt is in college, has a lip ring, and likes our daughter. Matt was not too nice when he showed up from Raleigh the other day for a visit.

Lake of the Ozarks trip

We finally downloaded some pictures from our trip to Missouri.

Matthew was able to ride in the pontoon boat.
Cruising on the Jetski
Liv swimming in the lake
Matthew tryin to keep it real ...
Emily spent as much time as possible on the water. She has no fear.

Two Pics and a Video

Well, it took a little patience, but I finally captured the little man smiling. He was so happy and active that I made a short video also.

Extremes

I have been on a quest (thus far unsuccesful) to get a picture of Ian smiling. He is smiling more each day, provided there is no camera in sight. Two seconds before and after I snapped the picture - huge smiles. Camera ready - he gives me the staredown.
Sometimes a man gets so worn out he can't even hold on to his pacifier.
