Summer Happenings

We've had a busy summer, but a good one.  My sister got married in July, so we went home for a month in order to attend and to be able to participate in some of the pre-nuptial festivities.  It was great seeing Lisa so happy and excited.  During that month, I got to meet up with two of my girlfriends from college at Panama City Beach.  It was wonderful to have some quality girl-time and fun to introduce Laura to her first beach experience.  It was great to be home for awhile and spend some quality time with friends and family.  

 Laura loves putting on her boots.  One evening, she decided to walk in circles around me wearing nothing but boots and a diaper.  Silly girl!

 Laura's first day at the beach.  She wasn't sure what to think.  We managed to get her wet, but she didn't want to get out of the stroller or walk on the sand.  Sigh - she doesn't know what fun is!  The next day we got her in the water and she was giggly and happy - thanks to Cristina for encouraging us all that it could be done!


Proof of a successful trip into the water!  The water was a perfect temperature and Laura really liked the up and down of the waves.  She did not like the breaking waves, but once we got past the breaking, she was happy as could be.

 Laura and I spent a few days with my parents down in AL.  They have this great park nearby, so we took Laura one (cloudy!) morning and she loved it.  I loved that it wasn't steaming hot at 10am.

 She was very focused while climbing.

 Well, at least when she wasn't making faces at the camera.

The beautiful bride!  The photo doesn't do her justice, but it's the only one I have.  Check out the pro's pictures here: http://www.ohsnapshotphotography.com/blog/?p=1469
