big baby picture update!

Finally, some more pictures of James! This is HIS website right? Anyway, As you can see he is growing up way too fast and has already grown in two sharp little teeth. We went hiking for the first time this weekend and he really seemed to enjoy looking around at all the sights in the forest. Halfway through the excursion he cooled his legs and head off in the cool water of Percy Priest lake. Next time we will try taking the dog also...

More Time On the Lake!

We have been trying to spend as much time at the lake relaxing and trying to take the edge off the Tennessee heat that has been around this summer. James seems to really like bobbing around in the water in his big orange life jacket.







This second picture is me acting as ballast on the back of a second hand boat lift that Ross and I hauled probably six miles on the lake. I just showed up to do some afternoon fishing and I ended up getting dragged around the lake for almost three hours trying to keep the rear end of the boat lift in the water. We were only able to go 2-3 knots all the way home. Glad that we got it in before dark - whew!

James On The Lake

James finally went out boating! Grandpa Ross took the entire family out for a relaxing sunset cruise. Stephanie and I were enjoying looking at the lake side houses in Hendersonville and JD was infatuated with the docked JET SKIS. Oh yeah, he wants some for sure. I can tell.

Soon, the vibrations of the engine and the sunset put the little man to sleep.

james is already trying to climb out and over things!

This could be bad, very bad!



Look at how he has already figured out that if he uses ledges at different heights and stands on his toys he has an "advantage" - uh oh, gulp.

very overdue baby pictures!

I am such a slacker. My relatives are mad. Here are some updates!

very overdue patio pictures - FINISHED!!!

Almost finished! I need to clean and seal the paver stones, but that's IT! I never want to build a patio again. This was the hardest, most back breaking project I have ever completed.
