Long Overdue

It has been a while since I updated any photos on the blog. Life has been really busy and I haven't had many opportunities to take pictures of the girls.

Our summer has been going great. It's been really hot here in Gainesville so we have been spending a lot of time finding ways to cool off. We've also done some traveling and have more trips planned for the summer.

Here is some of what we have been up to so far.

CLEARWATER BEACH, FL (June 21, 2012)

Here we are spending some time with one of Beau and Daphne's childhood friends and her boys. Erica drove over from Stuart with Thomas(4) and Alex(2) and spent the day with on Clearwater Beach. The kids had a great time. Gabriella really enjoyed hanging out with her new friends. We had so much fun and hope to be able to get together each year.

FIRST FEEDING OF CEREAL (July 6, 2012)

Lilliana has been getting up hungry, at night, and so I figured it was time to start on some cereal. The doctor said to wait on the cereal until she was at least 5 month. We we have reached 5 months and wasn't going to wait a day longer.


Eating from a spoon proved to be a challenge so in the end we switched to putting the cereal in a bottle. She ate it all up and slept 8 hours straight that night. 

Gabriella caught a nasty stomach bug last week. This is a picture of her finally feeling better. Three days of vomiting and really high fever wore her little body out :(

This weekend we are off to Ft. Lauderdale to spend some time with our friends Craig and Robin who are coming in from Northern California. We are also looking forward to getting some time in with Daniella and The Levrant's. It's always nice going Home :)
