Water Baby

We may or may not have a little water baby on our hands! (It's about time!) 
When we went to the Bahamas, it took all week to warm up to the pool or the ocean, and still we don't like getting our hair wet in the bathtub.

Nana & Papaw got Austyn a little pool for the back deck, and she loves splashing her audience and playing in the water all night.

Cherry Pickin


We joined Nana & Papaw for an evening of cherry picking at one of their friend's house. 

Austyn enjoyed helping pick the cherries off the tree!





365 Days + A Few

I apparently haven't posted on our family blog in just over a year, but with social media attached at the hip in everyone's life, I don't feel a need to post here when I post the same things to Facebook. 

I've been contemplating getting away from social media and relying on text messages / phone calls, and the use of letters and blogs (the virtual letter/email). I feel some people share too much of their lives on Facebook. Some things need to be left private. I also feel that people post way too much annoying things. It is your Facebook and you can share what you wish, but it does get tiring scrolling through tons and tons of stupid / useless posts.
(If you keep scrolling you have no heart, if you don't share this in 5 seconds a demon will get you!)

I want to be able to share in my family's lives and close friends lives, that's why I stay. However, I've wondered if I were to get off social media, if friends and family would actually make that point to be involved in our lives, since it will then take more effort than simply clicking a "like" button. 

Guess we'll see which direction I'm led to go in and what my heart says.

So far we have been enjoying our summer. Chris is working away while Austyn and I enjoy our days together running errands and doing odds and ends. This week we are going to start story time at the library and try to make that a weekly event. We will also try to work out on a daily basis (haha, yea right!) It will be good for Austyn to go play in the daycare while I walk or bike. I can't wait for what our summer has in store for us. We LOVE to experience new things with Austyn and can't wait to show her everything!
