We have had a very busy month. We celebrated Jay's birthday by spending a weekend at Lake Lure with the Grubbs Family. Celebrated Cousin Henry's high school graduation. Raced for the Cure in Raleigh with Maa and friends from when Margee was in vet school. Visited the vet school and saw the really cool skeletons. Celebrated Grace's half birthday with half a birthday cake. Nana and Cappy visited for the Fourth of July (those photos are still on the camera). We are off to New Orleans soon.
James and Grace are growing growing growing. James is a fantastic big brother and takes really good care of his sister. He's even written a song about her that goes something like this: "Baby Grace is my sister, my sister, my sister . . . She's my sister, sister, sister . . ." The best part is that he sings it in his rock star voice while playing his rock and roll guitar or just the air guitar depending on his mood. Grace absolutely adores James and wishes he would hold still more often so she could pull his hair or just grab him. She's on the verge of crawling so will probably be able to catch him before too long.


Quality time with Maa

Grace liked the cow skeleton.


James and Feylin


Grace loved having James strapped in beside her - James
wasn't so thrilled with the arrangement.



James and Feylin racing for the cure.


The best part of the 5K was the sprinklers.


Maa and James raced in the one mile race in a special
rickshaw since Maa is a survivor.


Racing is hard work.
