Happy Birthday!

Happy 1st Birthday sweet Olivia!

I love you!

Your friend, Tuck

30.

Bill, Julie, Deena, Darin and us.
Phenomenal trip to Hilton Head without children with two of my very best friends from high school, Julie and Deena. The girls all turned 30 this year. We love that the guys all get along so incredibly well... You might notice that our husbands all look very similar. We have noticed that, too. It is sort of weird.

And Happy Birthday to Deena yesterday (7-7-07)!!! My OLDEST friend (as in friend for the longest time) and the sweetest person you've ever met. We have been true friends for 28 years. Love you Deen!

A Day in the life of Tucker...

is never complete without some good car time. I thought about how much time this child sits perched in his throne back there and wanted to make sure I recorded it with the camera. He loves it back there. Before we leave the house he always asks whether we are taking "Mama's caw or Daddio's twuck". Then he makes sure I have "Mama's keeeeeeeys." Then he sits in the back chirping away the entire ride -- mostly pointing out every car that he knows someone owns. He usually sweats. A lot. Fun times.

4th of July

We had a bunch of friends over including Isabella. She and Tucker both love the camera so they are easy to photograph!

Our sweet Goddaughter, Kathryn. Check out this precious 4th of July dress! Tucker was not in the mood to pose with her.

A girl!

We have a niece! Congrats to Betsy & Casey on the birth of Katharine Celia McCormac. She was born Thursday, June28th and is going by Celia or Cia. We are hating not being there to meet her in person, but we will hopefully get there soon.

The final hours

The last day Noah was in Jacksonville was spent playing with Tucker. They laughed. They wrestled. They did Legos. It was heart wrenching to say good-bye!

Tucker's Friends

We are so blessed to be able to raise Tucker alongside so many Godly, incredible friends. Tucker is always cute, but he is MUCH cuter when playing with one of his friends!!

Welcome Baby Anna!

We also want to welcome baby Anna Kelley Sims in to the world! Congrats to our dear friends Greg and Gina on their first child born yesterday... you can see pictures of her on their new blog. Love it!
