Sailor Audrey & Uncle Dave brings a gift from Maria!

We had a little modeling session with Audrey last weekend after she got dressed up for the local animal shelter's open house. I was really looking forward to putting this little sailor dress on her!









Audrey's Uncle Dave arrived on Wednesday. Audrey has been having a great time with him, and we're all sad that he couldn't come for a longer time.

We've had a busy & fun weekend. Yesterday we went to the farmer's market and the library. And then, last night we went out to a campground at Barren River Lake to visit Aunt Mo's parents who were passing through town in their awesome RV.

Audrey's new swim suit from NYC from Maria. Too cute!







Audrey absolutely loved playing with the rocks at the campsite.



Wave & Delo!


Today we went exploring to somewhere none of us had ever been before. Nolin Lake, which is on the far side of Mammoth Cave National Park. It was a pretty lake with a nice sandy beach. Audrey & her Nana and I had a nice swim, and lunch was just about ready when a big rain storm hit and cleared the park out. Luckily we spotted a picnic shelter and were able to salvage our lunch. We ended up the weekend with homemade fajitas from the grill and ate dinner on the patio. It was a great weekend.

Audrey is a very good eater. She loves fruits and vegetables, especially blueberries and peas. But she also loves junk food if she can get a taste of it. Here she is enjoying some Doritos :)

Happy Canada Day, Mommy & Daddy's Fifth Anniversary, & Fourth of July!!

We have had a really nice long weekend.

Friday was Michael's and my fifth wedding anniversary. Time sure does fly! We celebrated by going to a concert on the town square by the Louisville Orchestra. The weather was beautiful and we had a nice time, although Audrey was pretty determined not to sit still. Audrey and I wandered around and enjoyed the music and had a good time.

Last night we went to Michael's boss's house to celebrate the Fourth of July. It was another beautiful evening and they put on a great fireworks display - not that Audrey ad I got to see much of it because she decided she did not like them. She is pretty adventurous, but she definitely did not like the fireworks, they were a little too close for comfort I guess.

Today we went to Mammoth Cave National Park for a picnic and little hike. A deer came right by our picnic site and Audrey was very excited.

Audrey has been practicing walking and is getting better all the time. She definitely is understanding a lot of what we say and is picking up new words quickly. One of her favorites at the moment is "toes", usually said as she grabs our toes.

She still enjoys playing with purses and bags, and emptying and filling containers. This evening she picked up a little gift bag and walked out of the room with the bag on her arm saying "Bye," and blowing kisses. It was pretty cute :)

We hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!
