Treasure

Today was one of the best days ever!!! We had a family fun day in Cherokee. First we ate lunch at Paul's, an Indian owned restaurant. Then we went gem mining followed by a visit to the local river. Dax walked and splashed in the water and built a rock dam with daddy. You and I hung out on the edge of the water. You sat on a rock with your little feet in the cold water. You were so, so cute splashing both feet excitedly in the water. I was not prepared to get as wet as you were getting me, but I absolutely loved watching you have fun in the water.   You also sat in the water and I had to make sure you didn't eat the rocks or sand. Our final stop was at an ice cream shop. While we were there an old man commented on how I was always smiling. I told him I had three wonderful reasons to smile: you, Dax and daddy! So as we call it a day and go to bed I thank God for true treasure! My family brings me great joy! Love you and my heart swells when you say "momma."

Your First Fourth of July

Today was a fun, relaxing day with family.  This evening we cooked out with Aunt Jenny, Uncle Bobby, Gracie, Dylan and Mamaw.  You ate a hotdog and watermelon!  These were two more firsts on this holiday first for you.  You seemed to really enjoy both.  We watched the movie, The Impossible, which was actually a sad/emotional movie.  After that we all went over to see Papaw and took him some food.  It was really cute watching you play with Papaw.  Since it was a rainy day we didn't watch fireworks.  On the way home we caught a glimpse of some here and there.  It was a great day!
