Happy Birthday, Love!

Today is my Love's 30th birthday! What do you say to a man who has seen you at your worst and your best? Who has been through valley after valley w/ you only to continue to be standing beside you when we finally reached the peak? What do you say to a man who looks at his daughter with the love and affection as though she were perfect? What do you say to a man who loves me unconditionally? What do you say to a man who has laughed, cried and done both at the same time w/ me? Who crawled into the uncomfortable hospital bed to hold me while we both cried and slept as our daughter fought for her life just a floor below us? What do you say to a man who I am still excited that I get to spend my life with? What do you say?

Happy Birthday, Nathan! I love you!!!! And your girlie does, too!!!

Welcome to the club, Old Man! :-P

A Really Long One...

Most of our time in Indiana was spent in Mamaw and Papaw's backyard. If she wasn't playing w/ the puppy, she was just running around enjoying her surroundings which was fine b/c it is all fenced in!!!!! The weather was great, and the girlie had a ball!

Hedwig is Back!

Yes, to all those who were concerned about little Hedwig, he is alive and well. This year he even has a little friend! He keeps an eye on us but definitely isn't shy about getting close. He enjoys perching on the swing set to search for food. So excited to see him come home! More pics from Indiana to come...just had to add this sidebar.

When Holbrooks' Get Together...

what mischief will be had! We were able to spend a day with Kurt, Jennifer, Haley, Gramma, and Papa Holbrook. The cousins played well together, and the brothers did okay together. ;-) (as well as brothers can behave!)

The plane actually landed on the truck

Crazy acrobatics!!

Our first trip of the summer took us to the great state of Indiana. We drove up Thursday evening (very late!) and woke up refreshed and excited for what the new day had in store. Papaw, Daddy, Mommy, and Emma went to this air show down near Indianapolis. Friday is practice day, so it was very relaxed. The airplanes practiced their acts, while the emcees worked out the kinks in the monitors and music. Overall it was a great day! The Blue Angels were going to be there to perform, but it was getting late in the day and we were all getting tired. The girlie did fantabulous for no nap the day before, late getting to bed, and late nap in the car on the way home. Personally I think she was just excited to see Mamaw, Papaw, and Puppy! More to come soon...
