Sweet Summertime


     Summer has officially arrived and so has the heat!!!  I love this time of the year-- even with the awful heat.  Nothing beats summer produce-- fresh fruits, veggies, salads, YUM!  And I love watching my sweet babies play outside to their heart's content.  Playing outside when it's cold is not much fun but when its hot outside, you can just turn some sprinklers on!  We have a packed summer planned full of swimming, playing, the beach, etc.  Matt just got over a bout of the tummy bug but I'm still praying this summer is filled with less illness, less doctor visits, and more fun times.  We will see-- we will be praying for a fun, safe, and healthy summer for everyone!

Sweetness.

Ice Cream Cones with Miss Erica!

The look I received after haircut in which the lady received a 90% tip and one person walked out right after they walked in...  

Miss Erica captured this sweet scrunchie face!

Ready for shopping day with the girls!

LAKE DAY!

First jet ski ride of the summer
This is Matt's idea of a day at the lake- swinging in the porch shade!

Seriously growing up way too fast.

Clemson hat time!

Mowing the grass.

Sleeping with my blanket that I had when I was a baby...

Too cool for words.

ALL boy.  Seriously.  100%.

CHEEEESEEEE!

Cole and Caroline

     Cole and Caroline made their arrival into this world 9 weeks early on May 4th!  Cole was 2lbs 15oz and Caroline was 3lbs 3oz.  They were born a mere 35 seconds apart at 11:19am-- that is SUPER rare for twins to be born at almost the same time!  Melissa did great and has thankfully had an easy recovery.  I was able to visit the babies in the NICU when they were a week old and take a ton of pictures which I will share below.  They have hit few, if any, bumps in the road during their NICU stay and are hopefully coming home next week!  Now the real fun begins...  ;)  I am so thankful that they are here and have done so well.  Continued prayers please for their first year of life as they continue to grow stronger, get bigger, and give their mom and dad more grey hairs than they can imagine!
