We were able to spend a wonderful week at the Sandestin Beach resort with CC, Popa C and Uncles Ryan, Brett and Patrick. Brian Connor and I first stopped on the way down in Huntsville to See my cousin Natalie and Dad's new Connor's -Connor loved the new restuarant and sleeping in a hotel for the night.The rest of the week was great weather, great meals out and cooked in - especially the night the kids cooked for Cc & Popa C! We enjoyed fireworks on the 4th at Baytowne Wharf, a great dinner in Seaside one night, celebrated my birthday, and had a great time on the beach and pool. Connor is enjoying the water so much, he gets so excited as soon as he hears the waves and loves the pool. Thank you CC and Popa C for a great trip!

Congratulations Darren and Megan!
On June 28 Brian's younger brother Darren married Megan Amburn. The wedding was beautiful, of course the bride stunning in a strapless, sweetheart lace gown, the flowers, cake (compliments of Irene -Darren and Brian's grandmother)the reception - everything went wonderfully and we are so glad to welcome Megan into our family. Unfortunately I did not get any good pictures at the reception, or during the wedding because Brian and I where both in it - but here are a few from Gettysvue the night before at the rehearsal dinner and before going down the aisle.

Happy Father's Day
Brian was actually out of town for his first father's day at the International Rotary Convention in LA with our good friend Jonathon Johnson -I have included a few pics from their trip - so we celebrated fathers day a little late, but celebrated nonetheless with a great afternoon at the pool and a relaxing night of grilling out steaks. Connor and I were able to celebrate with Popa C on father's day and we all were able to celebrate with Brian's family before he left for LA. Happy First Father's Day Dad -we love you!

The Greenbriar
Last weekend Brian and I took our first trip away from Connor and went to the Greenbriar in West Virginia. We had a great time- it is a beautiful resort with wonderful rooms, fantastic food and tons to do. Brian enjoyed golf one morning while I took a cooking class, we spent the afternoon playing tennis and enjoying the beautiful infinity pool -those are so cool - and even enjoyed bowling! The Greenbriar is also home to Project Greek isle -for thirty years housed a secret bunker intended for congress to escape too in the event of a nuclear threat - it is no longer actively used and so we were able to tour it - crazy that for 30 years people vacationed on top of a secret government bunker and never knew it! We had a great time, and survived the first trip away from little man -who enjoyed a weekend of being spoiled at CC and Popa C's

Wild Dunes
We just recently were able to take a family vacation with Brian's family - Nonee, Grandad, Uncle Darren and Aunt Megan (who we are excited to mention are on wedding countdown -only 4 weeks to go!) We stayed at the Wild Dunes resort just outside of Charleston South Carolina. We had wonderful weather and enjoyed spending a few afternoons in the great downtown of Charleston. Connor loved the trip- the first day the waves scared him but by the end of the trip he loved playing with Dad in the waves. Splashing is a newfound talent and makes for great pool fun! We had a great time-thank you Nonee & Grandad!

Happy Mothers Day
I was able to celebrate my first mothers day this past weekend. Saturday I was able to celebrate with my mother, grandmother, dad and all the boys who came in town. We had a wonderful dinner at Regas -despite my doubts of bringing a 5 1/2 month old to Regas he did very well, and it meant so much to try and make my first mothers day special. Brian and Connor also treated me on Sunday to roses and Starbucks in the morning and a trip to Fresh Market for a great dinner - Thank you for my special weekend and Happy Mothers Day to all you well deserved
mothers!

5 Months
We have had a busy few weeks enjoying the onset of Spring. Brian and I were able to have a Kid free day and took a trip to the Keeneland horse races in Lexington -it was a blast but unfortunately in organizing Connor's day at CC's I forgot to pack our camera! We also have helped celebrate my cousin Lauren's graduation from UT, Mamaw Welch's 85th birthday and Uncle Darren's 25th Birthday. Most of all Connor is growing like crazy. We have become more successful with trying new foods and have even come to accept green beans, He is now able to roll both directions and therefore is now able to cross the living room in a matter of seconds. He is laughing out loud, has found his feet -and manages to get them in his mouth somehow, is starting to teeth and is so much fun!
