Summa Time

We headed to Kentucky early on June 14th with Audrey and Owen.  Alexander had already been in Kentucky for a week with Nana.  The children did well on the twelve hour drive.  They were thrilled to see everyone in Kentucky.  We had been counting down the days until we could visit our family and for everyone to meet Owen.  Audrey behaved much better on the long car ride if she was wearing her princess dress. 
 
Audrey admired the beautiful flowers at Nana's house.  She especially love the 
purple "flowies."
 

We enjoyed visiting lots of friends at Jill and Danny's.  Chef Alexander roasted marshmallows for everyone.  He preferred eating his marshmallows not toasted, but loved making them for everyone else. 
             Alexander and Daddy enjoyed a fun evening of putt putt golf.

   Aunt Sue was excited to meet baby Owen and visit with Alexander and Audrey.  We had a delicious dinner at Briarpatch. 


Who is this?  Adam-looks like Baby Owen. 
Adam and Audrey had a special date night at Chik Fil A's Father Daughter Date Night.

 Mimi came to Owensboro to see us.  She couldn't wait another week to see the babies.  We had fun playing in the pool all day Saturday and visiting Smother's Park on Sunday.  Audrey loved floating around the pool.

Spring

It has taken forever for Spring to arrive.  These cool rainy days have been tough. 
Alexander has enjoyed learning to "read."  He loves to read to Owen. 

 Owen is such a sweet boy.  I can't believe he is three months old already.  He is a good sleeper.  He loves to eat and talk.  He insists on being part of the action.  He wants to see what everyone is doing.  He has started to get himself to sleep when laid down in his bed.  He still gets up once in the night to eat, but goes right back to sleep.   He still has a sensitive tummy. No beans or dairy.  Audrey and Alexander adore him. 


 It has been fun to see lots of new plants coming up and blooming.  We enjoyed planting seeds at home and planting the church garden.  Audrey loves the pink and purple flowers.  Alexander knows all about tulips, irises, and "pastas"= hostas.  Audrey even talks to the plants and touches them like they are her pet. 


We are excited to get to spend the summer in Kentucky.   Adam will being taking a class at Southern Seminary and doing some training with other pastors in Kentucky and Tennessee.  We are anxious for the rest of our family to meet sweet baby Owen.  Alexander left for Kentucky with Tami and Madeline today.  He has never been away from us for more than one night.  He is excited.  We will miss him, but will be thrilled to see him when we arrive in Kentucky next weekend.
