Chattanooga!

We headed to Chattanooga a few weeks ago.  Chris competed in the triathlon on a relay team, this time.  I think he enjoyed it.  It's definitely one of my favorite races to watch.  We stayed an extra day so that we could have fun and play.  We took Nancy Carolyn to the Children's Museum (SO FUN!) and to the Aquarium.  Here are a few of my favorite pictures from our trip.

Fourth of July!

We had a GREAT 4th of July.  We didn't do much but enjoyed each other and spent time together.  We played in our pool and Chris smoked some yummy ribs.  We had a few friends and family over to enjoy the yummies with us.

Children's Museum

Back in June, we visited the Children's Museum with the Wrights.  This was our first trip to the museum in Atlanta and I'm sure it won't be our last.  NC had a GREAT time exploring all that there was to explore.  There was a lot she wasn't quite old enough to do, but I think she just enjoyed watching all the big kids that were there.  It was a fun visit with Kristin and her boys.

18 months

Nancy Carolyn is officially 18 months (well, a few weeks ago on July 15).  She continues to amaze us daily.  The doctor said she was perfect (which we knew!)  She's bumped up to the 75% in both height and weight.  She weighs 23 lbs and is 32" tall.  She is quite the character, with a cute little personality.  She is definitely independent and stubborn.  She LOVES to climb on anything.  Her vocabulary just amazes me everyday.

Atlanta Zoo

We have visited the Atlanta Zoo 3 times this summer.  NC seems to love looking at the animals and constantly asks "Whas that?" She really likes the flamingos and the pandas.  I'd say that they seem to be her favorites :)  Our first trip was with my friend Amy and her kids, Emma and Logan.  We went the week after school was out and had a good time.  Then last week, we went twice... once with the Rose girls (my friend Ashli, and her girls Lilli and Brooklyn) and then with my "evil step sister" Jennifer, Jared and Ellis.  Ellis is 10 weeks younger than NC.  We hadn't seen each other since her birthday in March, so it was a lot of fun to see the girls interact (somewhat) with each other.  Here are a few highlights from our zoo trips!

BEACH

So I'm only a LITTLE behind on posting.  :)

A few weeks ago, we were able to spend a few days in Destin, FL.  We HAD.A.BLAST!  NC LOVED the ocean and the waves.  She wasn't quite sure about the sand.  Though the last day we showed her how to play in the wet sand where the tide is coming in and she seemed to enjoy that better than the dry sand.  Silly girl!  We didn't do much, just enjoyed the beach and the pool and being lazy with each other.  Here are a few of my favorite pictures from our trip...
