HAPPY AMERICANS!

While Nana has been here babysitting, she has designated Tuesdays as "Toy Tuesday."  So, every Tuesday we head over to Toys R Us and Annie gets to pick out a new toy.  This is a picture of our last trip on Toy Tuesday.  Annie was hysterical laughing with the woman at the checkout behind me while I took this picture.  No doubt that shopper was thinking, "Check out these Happy Americans?!"  

Extra Credit to anyone who knows where the term "Happy Americans" came from ... 

Six Months!

It is really hard to believe that Annie is 6 months old now!  We have had so much fun seeing her grow, learning and exploring new things, and just having her in our life.  Six months is a really fun milestone - a whole new aisle of toys in the toy store especially for 6 mos. old, sitting on our own, and trying solid foods (of course we try ALL solids - edible or otherwise - since anything in her grasp goes straight in the mouth)!  Here are some of the things we love about being 6 months old ... 

Wearing shoes for the first time!

Eating sweet potatoes...mmmmmm

A Friend for Annie

On July 31st, Annie was very excited to hear that her new friend, Cate, had arrived! Congratulations to our friends Rhett and Sarah ... we look forward to lots of playdates!

Cate's parents, Rhett and Sarah (at far right), celebrated Annie's Baptism with us. Cate attended in-utero!

A Bob Between Two Annes

A few weekends ago our friends Anne and Bob came for a visit.  We got to hangout, the boys played xbox, we ate Paul's ... but mostly it was important for Anne to meet The Little Namesake, Annie.  We had a great time catching up with our Wmbg friends!
