We had some fabulous visitors today! Amy and Bowers came over for a little while this afternoon and even though there was total chaos, it was great to see them and catch up. Harrison and Brooks made sure to fit in some one on one time with sweet, little Bowers I made sure to do the same. She is such an adorable baby!

Cooling Off
This past weekend I attempted another art show in Atlanta, the Scott's Antique Market. The show didn't go too great but we at least got to spend another weekend in Athens. On Saturday, after deciding not to spend another day at the antique mart, we tried to beat the heat by spending most of the afternoon in Lee Lee and Grand Bill's pool. Harrison and Brooks' new bestie in Athens is an adorable little girl named Anna who came over to join us for an afternoon of swimming. She is on the same level as Harrison in terms of action and adventure so these 3 had quite a time splashing around. Harrison worked on his front flips and dives from the diving board, he swam around using goggles and a snorkel, and he did his typical routine of jumping in the water with a big splash usually wherever I was sitting. Especially if I was holding a camera. And Brooks maintained her comfort zone of playing on the 1st two steps only to get out and clown around with goggles and her backwards bathing suit that Lee Lee put on. Once Robert and Grand Bill got back from golf, there were more jumps, more flips, and some clumsy kids from the intoxicating pool time fun. I also included some pictures of our new road trip assistant and awesome babysitter, Preslie. Life sure is easier when you have great help!

4th of July
We had a fun and hot Forth of July this year in Jacksonville. We spent the afternoon at the Yacht Club with Leigh, Carter, Tim and Lauren. Brooks got to spend some quality time in the bounce house with uncle Tim and Harrison did his usual non stop swimming routine. That evening we cooked dinner at Carter and Leigh's and then headed over to the Yacht Club again to watch fireworks. The fireworks weren't such a hit this year with Harrison and Brooks as we had anticipated. I think the loudness of it all had them a little off set so we watched the display from inside. You would think these two would be delighted with all the noise seeing that there is never a silent moment in our house. Oh well, it was a fun day and we all had a great time!

Duck Duck Brooks
My little Brooksie has a new obsession...ducks. She could not be more thrilled that we live in a neighborhood with ponds and ponds full of them. It is by far, her favorite word and she gets so excited every time she sees one. Here are some pictures from the weekend, feeding the ducks and swimming in the pool.
