Summer 2011 in Pictures

Our family started off the summer celebrating my 30th birthday.  A week later, we celebrated Matt's 31st.  One of the major epiphanies we had was that Matt is a much better baker than I am.

Fun times with our Fellowship Raleigh small group!

Cameron and Ariel Harwick, a sweet couple from our church.

Abby moved into a big girl bed with absolutely no problems...whew!



We spent time outside, but when it got too hot, we painted (wearing tutus, of course) in the comfort of air conditioning.



Lots of play time with friends at the park and pool this summer.



Our niece, Shelby, came to visit us.  Lots of dress up, watching cooking shows on cable, and texting.  I forgot what it was like to be
14-years-old :)



Celebrating the 4th of July with sparklers on our back deck.



We finally dressed up as cows for Chick-fil-a's free meal day.  I think we finally did this after all these years because we had a child to dress up and didn't feel quite as embarrassed.



Vacationing at Topsail Beach...our last family vacation with just Abigail before Baby #2 comes along.



Scratch that...Jackson came along too.



Abigail and Matt did a park district basketball class together.  This picture is deceiving.  Abigail has the spirit, but definitely not WNBA potential.  Still, a fun time by all!



My parents came for a visit and taught Abigail the rest of the alphabet.  I swear, she'll probably be reading after their next visit!  Um, kinda makes me wonder if I'm letting her watch too much tv...just kidding.



Allison & Aaron Massey, our friends from small group.  Congrats!
