Andrew's Baptism

June 14, 2009 - Andrew Scott was baptized at Peachtree Presbyterian Church here in Atlanta. It was a nice ceremony and we were fortunate to have Aunt Mary, Uncle Nick, PatsyMom, and PapaDoc here to celebrate with us! It is tradition in our church to choose a Bible verse for your child, Scott chose Romans 12:11-13 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Jay was mesmerized by Andrew "getting wet," he still mentions it when he sees the photo memory nestled in our bookshelves.

Florida!

Ahhh.... summer is officially here and it's already HOT in Atlanta! Jay's school ended May 15 and won't start again until the second week in September, that means Jay's summer break is a full 16 weeks, we are in the middle of week 5; I am taking this time to expose the boys to new activities around Atlanta and special trips each month (and to maintain my sanity!).

In early June I took the boys to Florida on a tour to visit extended Gravely relatives. We drove to Jacksonville to see Aunt Mary and Uncle Nick; from there Aunt Mary joined us as we traveled further south to Bradenton to visit our cousins, Debbie, Rich, Charlie, Tommy, and Janice. It was a great trip - Jay had a blast and was completely entertained by a very patient 12 year-old Charlie. Our trip included a visit to Sarasota Gardens, Manatee Beach, a few dips in Debbie's pool, a fun family dinner, and girls' night out (thank you Rich and Charlie for watching the boys!). Debbie and Rich were unbelievable hosts and we can't thank you enough for all that you did for us during our stay! And for all the time the boys had in the car, they were very well behaved, yeah!

Jay News

Jay is getting so big and turning into such a funny little fellow. We ordered pizza tonight and he was so excited and said "Good-bye pizza man" as our delivery person left. Yes, this means Jay is eating pizza - his palette is slowly expanding, I had to take a video to prove it to Scott. Jay is also sleeping in his big bed all night without PASSIE!!!! woo hoo! Have a great weekend everyone!

Jay finally got a haircut - here are some pics I took of him yesterday before we headed out to a birthday party! Happy Memorial Day weekend!

Too tired...

So a few weeks ago we were going through our regular morning routine when Andrew all of the sudden fell asleep eating his oatmeal and applesauce. It was so funny I just had to take a picture. Hilarious!

Blah, blah, blah...

Here's our growing Andrew talking in his own litte way. We can't believe how fast he is developing - where does the time go??? He is already scooting across the floor and spinning around in circles on his tummy, he'll be crawling in no time.

Fat Tire comes to Georgia

Scott loves Fat Tire, a beer brewed by New Belgium Brewing Co. in Fort Collins, CO. It's a fave of many beer aficionados. Until a few years ago, it was only distributed west of the Mississippi River, but then they crossed over into TN and now, Georgia! Scott was so excited and it makes his day to have a small taste of CO in the fridge.
