South Carolina

We were so lucky to head to South Carolina this summer. It is an amazing tradition that I truly treasure. I, of course, failed to charge the camera before we left....in fact, I even thought about it and decided that we would be fine....we were, of course, not fine. The camera lasted 2 days - so here's a couple pictures from the trip - it's all I have.
I love this vacation - I love seeing Callie interact with a side of our family that we, unfortunately don't see very often. We were missing 2 very important people this year from our family but they we remembered throughout the vacation!
We all traveled together which was an absolute blessing. The kids entertained each other and swapped toys - our goal was for the kids to be so obnoxious that we would get a whole section of the plane to ourselves....that didn't work out!

Digging and playing with grandpa


Callie shares her grandpa's love of the beach - she would have spent every second of the trip either in the water or near the water if we let her


The crew reading with grandpa

 My favorite part of the day - before bed, Granny told all the kids stories - reminded me so much of my own childhood. It was fun to see the kids interact and listen to the stories granny told. 


The Knowles side of the family - minus Preston. He was very missed!

Someone thought it would be a great idea to pack all the kids up and put them in a canoe to see alligators - we failed to recognize that it was 150 degrees outside......I think the kids might have complained less than the parents! It was a hot, but we saw 2 alligators!
We spent one day in Charleston - the kids enjoyed playing int he fountains

Rolling and Reading

Callie rolls ALL over the place!!! One of her favorite places to end up is her bookshelf. Look what I found! As a side note, it looks like one of our cats is finally accepting that Callie is part of the family (or atleast, she isn't going anywhere) and has become very tolerant of her. She lets Callie "pet" her and will even walk up to Callie (which, if you know this cat, is VERY unusual - there are some people who still have never seen her). The other day when I was getting Callie from her nap this was outside her door. Apparently the cat loves Callie enough to bring her toys.

7 Months

This month seemed to have flown by just as quickly as all the others. It's crazy to think she has been part of our family for seven months already. We have had our first real battle (and are still battling) with a never ending cold. She has been a trooper though - although I wish that we could do more to help her. Here's what is new (things have moved very quickly this month): She is up on all fours. She seems to be taking after her cousin Clara, where she can crawl backwards but not yet forwards - which can be very frustrating as the toy she is trying to get to seems to just keep getting farther and farther away. After she learned to get up on all fours, she very quickly learned to go from all fours to sitting. We have yet to find any real foods that she will turn down, although green beans appears to be her favorite so far. When feeding her green beans she will lean forward VERY far and open her mouth as wide as can be just to get the next bite. We can't seem to get

Mothers Day Weekend

We had amazing weather for Mother's Day weekend and tried to enjoy every minute of the summer. On Sunday, Callie and I ran the color run. A 5k through Seattle which involved a lot of dust and color. It was a lot of fun and  I was super proud of her and how she pushed herself. Before the race. Shirts are still white and hair is still normal color. We ran with one of Callie's good friends and her mom.  Bubbles! That was a highlight for Callie, she loved running through the bubbles.  Done! Color and dust everywhere! We spent Saturday with Katy and Dennis and explored Renton and a local beach and park. Callie and Katy The gang! Saturday was so beautiful that we actually went home and the kids ran in the sprinklers and played in the bathing suits all day.
