So Much For The Updates

Well, Gracie and I are enjoying our second trip this summer to Seabrook. We'll be here for two weeks and I had planned to really get this thing updated with some pictures, but they aren't stored on this computer, so I will tell you about everything and probably make a montage when I get home.
After Grandaddy's birthday we went to Greenville and Gracie got to meet Coleman and Becca for the first time. She loved them, of course. And I loved being in Greenville. I can't wait to move back someday. We made the special trip for Gracie to meet Bud's mother and that was really nice. She lives in Indiana, so we don't see her much at all and Gracie has only one other great grandparent whom she spent a little time with at her dedication.
We left Greenville for Gracie's first trip to the lake. She had a blast there and loved to ride around on the boat and the golf cart and feel the wind in her face and hair with Daddy. She also experienced her first ride in a swing. It was perfect!
When we came back to Charlotte Mary Hampton and Ben came to visit and that was wonderful as usual. Gracie and Ben interacted so much more this time and we know they are going to be trouble together in September for their next visit. I can't wait! I suspect they will both be crawling by then...
Last week, Gracie turned 6 months old and made lots of changes all at once. I'm sure most of you know that she is sitting up now and teething terribly. The bottom two are right there and the things just won't make their debut. Liitle bit only weighs a little more than 15 pounds, so she hasn't grown much. We started rice cereal and vegetables and she loves to eat and help Mommy put the spoon in her mouth...too cute!
Since then, Anna has been to stay with us and so have Nana and Mary Ellen. We celebrated grandpa's birthday yesterday which was lots of fun! So far this trip Gracie has only been swimming at the indoor pool...we'll keep you posted! Love to all!
