11 Months Old

Today Cole is 11 months old. Crazy that we only have one more month until the big ONE! He continues to put a smile on our faces everyday. Here he is in new jammies that are 2T...notice how form-fitting 2T is becoming. Such a big boy.

Tonight we went to his cousin Kylee's swim meet. So cute and fun to see her in action.

This past weekend my Aunt Mary and cousin Colleen came in from New Jersey and Boston. We were celebrating with an engagement party at Brophy Ranch but whenever they are in town we turn it into full-on-family for the length of their stay. Friday night everyone came to our house. Surprisingly, it wasn't too humid and we could enjoy the deck.

Saturday was a big hit. Lots of good laughs and we were able to meet more of the wedding party. Charleston in April will be fantastic. And yes, recycled outfit from Leanna's shower. Different side of the family so why not? ;)

CK!

Introducing the long-awaited Das Boot to the party after opening presents. As I said in my speech, often imitated but never duplicated.

Only photo ever of Mom, Me and Das Boot.

 In other news, Drew and I are having a blast putting the puzzle pieces of our lives together. We knew when we bought our house we would pay our mortgage here and rent in GA but decided to go a different route. We decided to invest the money we would spend on rent and upgrade to a new camper. We'll live in it in GA then have it for fun trips once we are back in MO. We are looking forward to all the good memories to come!

SO happy to have the half-way point in the rearview.
