Busy July!!

Happy Monday!  Just a quick post to let you know what we've been up to this month...

The month of July has been super busy for us!  We started out with a trip to Vardaman for the 4th.  Two weeks after that, Matt and I went with Stacia & Charlie to Chicago to visit Lindsay for a long-ish weekend.  Oma and Jiggs came to keep Max for the weekend.  It was so hard leaving him for 3 nights, but we got to see him each day on Skype and he had a blast wrapping Oma and Jiggs (even more) around his little finger. 

Belle & Reagan also came in from Texas a couple of weeks ago, so Max has had a great time playing with them.  He is definitely jealous when they take up his time with his daddy....he pushes them away when they try to sit in Matt's lap.  The girls are coming to stay with us Saturday afternoon/night so I'll try to get some pictures of them then. 

Last Thursday I had a birthday - the big 28!  Thanks to all for the birthday wishes!  I am so blessed to have an amazing group of friends and family!

This past weekend was Nana Pearl's birthday and Lyndsey's wedding shower in Vardaman.  Matt decided to stay home and paint the kitchen (Fiestaware Orange to a gray-ish blue), and Max and I spent the weekend in MS.  Thanks to Jordan for bringing us back today, and we're super excited that she is spending the week with us! 

Here are a few pics for your viewing pleasure.  More are on the shutterfly site (Picture Albums link to the left).


This was taken in a glass box 108 floors above the streets of Chicago (top of the Sears tower).  So cool...those are the tops of skyscrapers you see.

Amazing friends, amazing view!  The Windy City, living up to its name!

Fun in the sun.  Note the red nose...he fell off a chair at the pool and scraped a layer of skin off his nose.  Poor baby! :(

With Aunt Em!
