North Carolina

We had a ball at our family reunion for July 4th! Sadly, mom was parked on the porch most of the time with a refluxy Rachel, so got no photos of Evan swimming in the lake, going for kayak rides, his first motorcycle ride, and watching fireworks. But Evan did have a blast!
Evan took time out of his frolicking to bring Rachel a flower :)

Mom and Rachel became known as the Porch People. Thankfully, we had a beautiful view of the lake and mountains.

(We came home a day early and took Rachel to the Dr, got her some meds, and she's already doing much better. She's taking her first nap over 45 minutes in 10 days - we're going on three hours - yay!)


Back together again :)

When Braden got back from Mississippi we corraled the little man in North Carolina and he showed us some of his new skills...

I'm ready for Mt. Etna!

Collecting flowers for his baby sister :)

Summer, summer, summer time!


Evan enjoyed his first solo vacation last week! He spent 7 whole days on his own with PopPop and Grammy Lil. They kept him so busy he didn't even notice we weren't there!

Looks like an expert traveler, eh?
