Summer Adventures of Graham and Mattie

Hi All,

Has it really been 4 months since my last post?!?!  I can't believe my last post was about Graham's birth!  Wow!  We have been busy with all things Mattie and Graham.  These two keep us on our toes in the best way possible.  So here is our summer catch up...

Graham has been the best baby!!  He really only cries when he is tired or hungry.  He is totally winning at being a baby :)  His arrival was good timing.  It gave me and him about 2 months to get our schedule down before Mattie was done with Kindergarten and home with us for the summer.  

Mattie's Kindergarten Awards Day.  We are so proud of everything she accomplished. She is so smart and she works so very hard in school.  







We rocked summer.  Mattie did swim team in our neighborhood.  That took up pretty much the month of June.  She did great.  We saw such an improvement in her strokes and speed since last summer.  About half of her meets were rained out, which was a bummer, but we did get to enjoy a few.

Graham slept through most of the early morning practices :)







This summer was also full of playdates, parties, concerts in the park and family.



Graham is ready for cousin Molly's B-day pool party :)
Happy Birthday Molly
Mattie had a blast at VBS
Saturday mornings goofing around with Dad.
Playing with Grampa
Twinning Cousins
Graham checking out the excersaucer for the 1st time.
Concerts in Woodstock with Auntie Heather. 

We said goodbye to another tooth.
Another cousin playdate with princess dresses of course.

We celebrated an awesome 4th of July.  Me, Adam, Kelly and Matt ran the Peachtree while the kids did their tradition of spending the morning with CC and Grampa at the neighborhood parade.  We all regrouped after the race, had a little pool time and then went to Roswell High School to watch fireworks.  

Parade fun.
Loving all the things Aunt Kelly has to say.


Ready for some pool time.






These two sure do love each other



Heather and I took the kids to Fernbank for a fun little adventure before Mattie had to go back to school.  We had a blast.  I think Heather and I had as much fun as Mattie did.  Graham really enjoyed looking around and watching all the people.

















Graham is growing and changing everyday.  I can't believe he is already 4 months old.  He had his 4 month check up and he is topping the charts in length, weight, and not surprisingly, head circumference.  He is the sweetest, squishiest baby boy.   He is currently trying to roll over, and he is so close!!!  I keep taking a million videos to try to catch it when it happens.  He "talks" all the time, and loves when his sissy plays with him.  He really adores Mattie and she is so great with him.  





3 months

4 months


Mattie went back to school this week.  We had a Mattie Mommy day and got haircuts and just spent a little time together while Graham spent some time with CC and Grampa.  I can't even believe I have a 1st grader!!!  I blinked and here we are with a 6 1/2 year old and a 4 month old.  Time just needs to slow down a bit so I can soak it all up!!


Mattie had a great first day of 1st grade.  She was so excited for school to start.  I love that she loves school so much.  


Getting off the bus
A Little Moe's to celebrate the first day.

I hope everyone had a great summer.  Those of you who had kids who went back to school this week I hope they had a great first day!

XOXO
