James

James has grown up so much in the last month.  At his 6 month appointment he weighed 16 pounds 9 ounces and was 28 inches long.

 He can now balance on his feet and stand with a little bit of help.  

 We are learning that it is just has much fun to dress a little boy for church as it is to dress a baby girl.  And he looks just as cute!!

 He is learning to hold his own against his sisters.  He is a great hair puller and is learning the art of wrestling.  

Just in the past week he has mastered sitting up!  Of course if he makes any sudden movements he falls over!  

Busch Gardens

 We spent our last day in Virginia at Busch Gardens.  It was a lot of fun!  Avery and Sarah loved all the rides.  They had a Sesame Street land with lots of fun kiddie rides.  

 Amazingly enough Sarah went on this ride and didn't cry!

 The girls tried bumper cars.  Avery spent the entire time going in circles.  Poor Sarah couldn't reach the peddle, so she tried to push it with her hand, but then she couldn't steer.  

 This was Avery's favorite ride.  She went on it at least 6 times.  

 This is how we ended the day.  

Memorial Day Weekend

We spent Memorial Day weekend up in Virginia with Grandma and Lito.  We had a lot of fun!  Avery and Sarah spent the first afternoon fishing.  They really enjoyed casting their pole into the river.  

 Here is the fish that Sarah helped reel in!

 Here is the fish Avery helped reel in!

 We also had a little birthday party for Avery!  She loved her pink cake!!

 Even though it wasn't super hot outside we took the girls swimming.  It took a bit to get used to the water, but the girls really enjoyed cooling off.  

 Clearly we were very tired by the end because Sarah fell asleep before she could even get her entire body into bed.

 We also got a ferry across one of the rivers.  Avery and Sarah fed bread to all the birds.

Farm Day

In early May we spent a day on the farm!  Christopher's boss invited us to his farm up in north Georgia.  Our girls loved being on the farm.  

 They rode horses and went on hay rides!

 Christopher and I got to shoot guns.  I was the best shot!!

 James took a nap!

 Avery's favorite part was feeding the chickens and collecting the eggs.  She only broke one in the process!

Sarah enjoyed playing with the farm dog.
