The boys & I traveled to Iowa with Anna Leigh & Vada last week. We spent a long day at RDU on our way out, but once we finally made it to Mt. Ayr we were constantly on the go & the week went by too quickly. As you can tell from the pics, we were able to meet up with a lot of great friends & family. Thanks to everyone for taking time to come visit, we had a really fun trip!
Finally stretching their legs in Milwaukee. We only wish we could have had this much to entertain us in the 7 hrs we spent in Raleigh!
Playing in Grandma's fort
Our little climber blends into the equipment with his red shirt on, but he's sitting up on one of the ropes.
My best friend from college, Kelly, drove up from Kansas City with her cute little girl, Harper. We had so much fun catching up & Filson loved having a playmate.

We cooled off this morning at our Children's Museum where they were having a water event. Running through the sprinklers felt great!

Turning 1 is tough work!
After 12 months of these photo shoots, he & Sock Monkey have learned to just lay back & chill.
This was our little guy at 1 month, what a difference a year makes!
Our baby turned 1 yesterday! He's still pulling himself up & cruising around the furniture & has stood on his own a couple of times. He loves to eat & is our little pointer, as he points his finger & moans to get what he wants. He has had a great month with Anna Leigh & Vada spending a week with us, taking his 3rd airplane ride to go visit Grandma & Grandpa in Iowa, and Mimi coming to spend his birthday with him. He is one lucky little guy!

Filson on Papa's back, checking out the new lake lot. The sunsets are gorgeous & we are so excited to be able to spend time at the lake now. Grandpa will be doing a lot of work to it this year & I'm sure the NC & AZ cousins will have a lot of good times when they get together here!
