Vacation!!

Well we are back from a week long vacation in the mountains of North Carolina. I thought we would be able to get online while we were gone, but unfortunately we were not able to. We had a wonderful time as a family...Hated to come back to reality! Angel loves the mountains, unlike the beach...Momma's Girl!!

Let's see if I can get caught up on all the happenings around here. Sunday before we left for vacation Angel's bottom two teeth started popping through the gums finally! She's only been trying to cut them for 3 months now! While on vacation she perfected her scooting around the floor, to almost crawling. She also learned that if she wants to get somewhere fast, the trick is to roll instead of crawl. We noticed that she really can crawl and fast, when there is something she wants that she's not suppose to have...like the dogs rawhide! I guess she figures the rawhide is good for teething. Angel has really enjoyed exploring new things this week, such as new foods. She found that she loves cole slaw, bread of any kind, and her most favorite is cheesecake! This child doesn't do baby food, she only wants what mom and dad are eating. Problem here is that all dad is a meat and potatoes man...good thing mom likes a variety of foods. As a matter of fact, mom found a couple new foods she likes this week. While searching high and low for some okra to fry, we were only able to find some pickled okra...sounds disgusting to me, but it is actually very good. And at the fresh produce market we found the pickled okra, they talked me into trying some peach salsa...it's delicious too!

Along with spending the week watching Angel learn new things, find new foods to enjoy, and resting; we spent some time visiting family. We met up with some family at a place called "Shatley Springs" for lunch...AWESOME FOOD! We had Jon's aunt make us some shirts, mouse pads, coasters, and baby onsies for the photography business. Although we didn't do a lot while on vacation, we did have a great time and got lots of much needed rest! And most of all we enjoyed spending time as a family! We are looking forward to our next week long visit in just two weeks, gotta go back for Jon's grandmother's birthday! And then we will be taking a two week trip to KS in October, which we are really looking forward to!!
