A Visit to Charleston

Uncle Adam and Kalista just got married! For the wedding we all loaded up and headed to Charleston for a long weekend of wedding and beach fun. We stayed in Folley Beach and enjoyed every minute of family time, beach time and eating yummy food. Ava is an old beach pro, but this was Bennett's first official vacation and first trip to the beach.

Congratulations Uncle Adam and Kalista! My camera fogged up when we went from the hotel to the beach for the wedding, so I don't have any pictures of the ceremony.
Fun at the beach and pool! Bennett loved riding in his back pack. Ava loved playing on the beach with Uncle Adam and Daddy, and of course swimming with Granny.

Some fun family pictures

Congratulations Kalista & Adam, we love you both and wish you the very best!

Happy 4th of July

Family of four...now we have 2 little firecrackers to love! Getting a family picture was hard before, but now it's almost comical.

Our two firecrackers...poor Bennett wiggles so much that Ava has a hard time holding him. A quick pic with Uncle Todd.

We headed over to the Robertson's house on Lake Spivey for our annual 4th of July fun. Up until yesterday, Ava has pretty much been petrified of swimming...not any more! Once she realized she wouldn't sink she was good to go!

She had a blast with Uncle Todd...they swam together for over 2 hours...she even let Uncle Todd dunk her under several times.

Ava and Abby sitting down by the lake watching the sunset.

Sorry for the arm in the picture. Ava and daddy had fun with sparklers.

Bennett after church...how many chins does he have?

Happy 1 month Bennett! Today, Bennett is 1 month old! We've been busy, but as usual I have no idea where the past 4 weeks have gone. We are adjusting to many changes at home, but Bennett is doing wonderful. He is such a good baby and is sleeping anywhere from 4-6 hours at night. He loves his sister and I swear when she talks to him he grins. He is a great eater and is also super strong...he's been holding his head up consistently for over a week now.
These pictures were taken right before we left for his 1 month check-up...Look at our sweet little sailor!

His 1 month stats:

10lbs 5 ounces- 70th percentile

21 1/2" long- 50th percentile

Just some fun pictures we've taken over the past several weeks
