Happy Birthday, US of A!

In honor of our 200th post, we are giving away free smiles!

(Scroll down for pictures of adorable, smile-inducing children. You're welcome!)

Fourth of July in Atlanta was rainy and cool this year. Who would have thought it? We spent the day inside celebrating America's birthday and saved the fireworks and picnics for later in the week.

Graham says, "I love 'Merica!"
(Whilst sporting his Dayton gear and a Kroger sticker...some Ohio love!)

Caroline worked on an American flag project.

Happy Independence Day! We are so grateful to live in this amazing country of freedom and opportunity!

The Pizza Queen of Atlanta

Caroline loves pizza and helping Mom (or anyone else for that matter) cook! So we recently made our own pizzas at home.

Adding the tomatoes...

As always, she must taste all the ingredients to ensure proper quality.

Ready to go in the oven. The pizzas turned out perfectly!

Sitting Up

Graham can now officially sit up without assistance!

Check out my skills, Mom!

Yes, I am awesome!

Carnival

Dad  "sprung" Caroline from school in the middle of the day recently to attend a carnival at his office.

She absolutely loved it!



They enjoyed a gourmet lunch (a.k.a. hot dogs)...

And a Tigger bounce house!

And what carnival would be complete without face paint! WWE meets butterfly princess.

Sweet, Sweet, Sweet Potatoes

Graham is expanding his palate to include root veggies.

First sweet potatoes. Delish!

Graham's Big Day

Graham was baptized at our church a few weeks ago.

He looked very handsome in Pa's baptism outfit.

Graham got big laughs from the congregation by squawking at the minister.

Now an official member of the church!
Graham gave a little pouty face and whine to show his opinion about the cold water, but otherwise was a trooper.

Our family!

5 Months Old!

Graham is 5 months old!

 

He is a very curious little guy. (He gets the nosy genes honest, but we won't name any names!)

He is mastering the tripod sit.

And absolutely must put everything in his mouth. This poor little bug is one of his favorite chew toys.
