Maddox's Dedication Weekend

We traveled to Knoxville for the weekend to celebrate Maddox's baptism.  There was a party on Saturday afternoon complete with bbq, cake and a jump castle.  The dedication was Sunday and then lunch at the Country Club.  It was a great weekend to celebrate Maddox!

Emilia's First Dance Class

On Friday mornings this summer, Emilia is taking dance.  It took her five weeks before she got through one class without crying for Mommy.  She loves it and looks forward to dance school every week now.  She will continue to take dance when school starts in September with the same dance company.

Emilia's Playdate at Her New School

Emilia will be attending a program next school year three days a week from 9-12am.  During the summer, they have playdates on the playground at the school for the kids to hang out with each other.  Here is a picture of Emilia getting ready to meet her new classmates.

It's Official

Today, Maddox Bennett Beck became an official member of the family.  Not that he wasn't already but now he is in the eyes of the court system.  Welcome again, Maddox.  We love you!

Just Another Weekend in Paradise

Not really paradise - actually pretty far from it. I suppose any weekend away, no matter where, is a good weekend though. I got some much needed girl time when some friends and I went up to Myrtle for a little relaxation. We had a wonderful time and should really try to do it more often. Thanks girls! Unfortunately, I have no pictures to share but will post if I get my hands on some that one of the other girls took.
Sunday, we celebrated Vaughn and Victoria's 3rd birthday. As you can see from the pictures, Emilia had a wonderful time. I wish I had actually gotten a picture of her with the birthday girl and boy though. Thanks for letting us celebrate with ya'll!

Twins 3rd Bday Party

Church Picnic

Church Picnic

Daddy helped Uncle Tom and crew cook for the church picnic last Sunday. It was hot but everyone had a great time as usual. There was yummy food, jump castles, cotton candy, sno cones and a fire truck.

Boat Cruise

The Herrin family invited us on a boat cruise around the harbor last weekend. It was Emilia's first boat ride in Charleston believe it or not. We had a wonderful time and really appreciated the invite.
