Bow Holder, Climber, Mom-mom



Here's what I made over the weekend..... a bow holder. Reese has tons of bows and we needed a place to put them all. Cute... huh?

Reese loves to climb. She climbs on everything she can. Georgia. The sofa. The coffee table. Her crib. You get the point. She's a climbing maniac.



We went and visited Mom-mom who is Reese's great grandmother. Mom-mom and Reese had fun playing with Ernie (a stuffed Sesame Street character), sticks, leaves, and grass. Reese was able to get a few smiles out of Mom-mom!

Smith Mountain Lake

We're back!

Reese in the knit hat from Bumba.... who Reese now calls Gamma


We just spent a week at a house on Smith Mountain Lake (in Virginia) with Lee's parents, his sister and her family, and his cousin and her family. With 4 children under the age of 3, we had quite a fun trip!

The 1st 2 days we hung out on our own private beach and swam. The next day we rented a boat and had a great time exploring the lake and tubing. Lee even took Reese out for her 1st tubing experience. Then we had a wine tasting at a local winery.... yum! The next day Lee & I rented jet skis and explored the lake on our own while Lee's parents looked after Reese. We made sure to take Reese out for her 1st wave runner experience though. She LOVED it and had a huge smile on her face! (Lee's dad has the pictures of that on his camera, so hopefully I can get copies of those soon!) The last day we went to the beach area at the Smith Mountain Lake state park. It wasn't crowded at all so we had plenty of room to enjoy ourselves.

Such a great trip!

Reese's 1st tubing adventure.

Reese & Mama swimming.
Reese loves the water. Whenever she could see the lake she would point and say "swim lake." We would put her floaties on, put her in a tube and let her go. She would kick her little legs to get where she wanted to go. Adorable!
