I did it!!!

This is the face of our proud little Max after he rolled from back to belly for the first time. He has been SO close for the past 3 or 4 weeks but just couldn't get that left hand out from underneath his body. But, Thursday night he finally did it! Kaelan and I were in the dining room and Uncle Scott was watching him play on the floor in the living room. He said something to Max about rolling over and I got so excited. I ran in there only to see that he still didn't have that silly left hand pulled out. However, not 5 minutes later, after some Fulmer perserverence, he threw his head up and over and pulled that little left hand out from under himself. HOORAY!!!! Scott and I both got to see it but unfortunately I didn't have time to get the camera for the very first one. I did however get it quickly enough to get this proud smile on his face afterwards. Luckily, he must have been very excited about his new trick because he wasn't happy to just stay on his back. I was able to get one recorded thank goodness. Here it is!

Annual Friends Trip (AFT)

A couple weeks ago we had our Annual Friends Trip (AFT). Last year, you may remember we went to Gatlinburg. This year we stayed with the cabin theme but decided on the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia instead of TN because it was a little more of a mid-point between Indiana (for Kelly and Katrina) and Florida (for Melissa). We got there Wednesday night and came home Sunday morning. It was no where near long enough but we had a fabulous time. It was the first time ALL 7 kids were together and we were finally able to meet Kelly and Nick's baby girl, Ryan (adorable!!!). The boys took the big kids "lazy" tubing on the Ocoee River on Thursday and then went whitewater rafting at the Olympic Whitewater Center (without kids of course) on Friday. There was something for everyone and plenty of space as well. Can't wait 'til next year's AFT!!!!

Our very first family picture with all 4 of us. Thank you Melissa!!!!

Carowinds

We went back to Carowinds a few weeks ago and I never got around to posting these funny videos of Kaelan on a couple rides. The first one is the carousel obviously. He says some cute things. The second is on the mini-roller coaster. SO fun!!!! He loves rides so much and we can't wait to do more and more as he gets bigger.
