A Big Fat Update in Pictures……..

because I’m too tired for many words.  Hopefully, the words will come later.

We live 5 minutes from the beach and have been once.  It’s sooo hot, and I think we’ll enjoy it more during the fall.

This picture makes me happy.

Bryn’s first beach trip.  She slept the entire time.

2 weeks after moving in, we took a trip to Lake Junaluska, in the mountains of NC with my parents.  We love the mountains, so it was a nice little getaway.

Grandfather Mountain

Bryn liked hanging out with us in the mountains.  We hiked a little and enjoyed the outdoors.  The boys and Jared swam in the rocky, freezing cold Ocanoluftee River.

Gage started school on Tuesday!  I can’t believe he’s really in school.  (he’s been homeschooled since he was 4!) And, let me just say we are so incredibly proud of how he is handling this transition.  I’ll have to write more about it later.  It’s worth a blog post, for sure.

Shea has discovered cherries and loves them, as you can see.

Bryn and I decided to have our own photo shoot in the bathroom because I thought she looked so cute hanging in her little snugli carrier.

And, that’s all for now, folks.

The house is beautiful, Bryn is precious, the boys are getting SOOO big, you look fabulous, and I can’t believe you were 1 1/2 hours away from me in the mountains, and I didn’t know it!!! Take care! Love you!

I know it shouldn’t and I’m sorry but this whole post just makes me sad. Very very sad :(

I LOVED ALL THE PICTURES….seriously…It just made my day! Bryn is SO cute! :)
I do agree with Mandy though, it is sort of sad! But I still loved them!
Love you guys,
Emily (for the Lovealls)

love these pics. Want some copies! The chapel and lake must hang in my frame, don’t you think?
The beach, school, cherries, Bryn’s smile all make me happy. And happiest of all is the beautiful daughter who carries and photos her new baby. How’d you get so pretty, girl?!
Love you, Mamaxx00

You live 5 min from the beach?! That’s so wonderful. I love these pictures. Everyone looks gorgeous and happy. Although that one on the mountain scares the crap out of me:)
