breakfast with Jonathan & Julie at Cracker Barrel

Jonathan and Julie stopped by at the "Hotel Harris" on their way to a camping weekend for Jonathan's birthday. we got to visit with them thursday night and have breakfast at Cracker Barrel the next morning on Jonathan's exact birthday before they had to get on the road again. all-in-all, it was a most enjoyable time together with my brother and his family! we loved having them for even as short a time as it was :D

no, we're not Georgia Bulldog fans, despite how it looks.



they almost look like they know how to play

look at that game face on Rosemary


bowled-over hug :D

Ian's progress

Ian's up to three word sentences now, it's so great! he's currently yelling, "help me, Zeke!" over and over. he's trying to get down from his booster seat in the dining room. so cute!

car seat we want for Zeke

it's on the TargetLists wish list. we're hoping it goes on sale. the salesperson said you can sometimes get $10-20 off on sale.

"asleep"

high-waters

Zeke woke up from his nap and put some new pants on and when he came out of his room and i saw him, i couldn't stop giggling. of course i was confusing him, b/c he had no idea he'd put on Ian's pants!

invitations complete

Ian's second birthday invitations

the grandparents' envelopes.

i love that the envelopes have Ian's animal on them and the invites have both his animal and Zeke's animal. hehe.
Zeke was really excited when he saw them, exclaiming how they had both an elephant and giraffe.
