Happy 2nd birthday, Emilia!

Our birthday princess

 Cora was super eager to assist in all of the un-wrapping

 Probably Emi's favorite gift --- high heeled shoes from Aunt Becky -- she walks amazingly well in them :)

 gifts galore

 Cora's hard work came out cute -- a vanilla M&M cake for Emi

Happy Birthday Molly-the-person!

We attended our babysitter Molly's 16th birthday tonight. Yay, maybe now she can drive herself over to babysit rather than be picked up by us!

Swimming

The girls can't get enough water this trip -- after the boat, hours in the pool! This is seriously making us wish we had a pool of our own...

even MORE boat time!

The weather has been perfect and the lake calm, so we've spent a lot of time on the boat.  

 Walking down the dock

Greg "walking on water" in Cora's words...

 Emi naps on Duke 

Visiting the Peavyhouses

We love, love, love playing with Zach and Kayla! We went to their house for the day and had a ball playing and catching up. 

 Zip lining through the backyard

 Sidewalk chalk

 Air hockey (the grown-ups got into this one.... we SO need one of these!!)

 Kayla was especially interested in the baby

 Giddy-up

 Hungry, hungry hippo

Group shot

We adults left the kids with the grandparents to attend a Braves game -- perfect night and we won 11-3, woo-hoo!

Tower of fun

Greg's childhood friend (and one of our best men in our wedding) Jay and his family came over to visit this afternoon. Check out the Lego tower built by the kids -- taller than Greg, wish I had a picture of the crash!

Lake Lanier

Today we had a fabulous day on the water -- it was virtually ours alone and well worth the wait!

Louisa's inaugural boat ride (she did well, slept most of the time...)

 

Cora was all smiles

That's Greg starting to water ski (once again, the video is too large to post -- that means he did well and stayed up for a long time!)
