As many of you know, we headed out last week on a "tour of Georgia" to visit extended family and friends. Our visit was cut short, but we did get a little time with Gramma, the Bailey's, and the Johnson's. I didn't get too many pictures because things were a bit hectic, but I thought I would share a couple.

This is Matt's Gramma with the kids.


And here is ruffly cousin Rachel with mohawk Sara. Sara found her feet about three weeks ago and started putting them in her mouth about a week later.


On Saturday, after Papa's funeral, we had a little time to hang out with the Ferguson's. Caroline loves Uncle Jason!


Kaitlin has been a bit hesitant about being around Uncle Matt before, but he got some good cuddles this time!


Here are all the grandkids on the Ferguson side. Getting four kids to look the right way and not make a funny face it hard! So...I faked it. :) One of these faces has been imported from another picture. Can you tell which one?


Sara has recently figured out that she can use her hand to touch or grab something that she sees. She has quickly gotten very good at moving objects around. She also loves to smile. She loves for people to talk to her and will usually respond with a smile.


Nathan loves his sisters. And they love him.


Sara is a sweet baby. She's been good from the beginning. Thank goodness! She still sleeps well and eats well. She only really fusses when she's sleepy. She loves people and is happy if somebody will hold her or talk to her. She's getting so big! She is now wearing size 6-9 mo. clothes and size 3 diapers. In the last few days, she has started jabbering again. I think she is experimenting with using different mouth and tongue positions to make different sounds. Even though she's the third, it's still tons of fun to watch her grow and learn.

Sara's four month checkup

I took Sara to the doctor on Friday for her four month checkup. She is very healthy. She weighs 15 pounds, 12 ounces which is 90th percentile for her age. She is 25.5 inches long which is also 90th percentile. I actually think she's longer than she was measured, but we'll go with it.

Sorry for the short post, but this Mommy is quite busy! I'll get more up eventually.

just overheard

Caroline: unn unn unn My house is on fire! unn unn unn My house is one fire!

Nathan: whoo whoo shhhhh shhhhh

Caroline: That's not my house!

a couple pics

(Don't miss the post below about Uncle Sean & Aunt Lisa's visit.)

a special visit

Last week Uncle Sean & Aunt Lisa came to visit us. It was nice to get to spend some good time with them for a few days. One day, we went out to our local peach packing plant to check out the process. We had lunch, and the kids played on the playground. Here are Uncle Sean & Aunt Lisa with all three kids. They look like naturals, don't they! (Where are our cousins?)


This is the norm around here. :)


Apparently Aunt Lisa's arm tastes very good.


Nathan was enjoying playing on the tractor, but it sure is far to shift.


Watch out, Caroline! The front loader's coming!


Thursday night, everyone but Mommy and Sara went out to our local 4th of July celebration. While they waiting on the fireworks, they had fun with the jump rockets that Uncle Sean & Aunt Lisa gave Nathan for his birthday last year. Look at Nathan getting some air!


I think somebody needed to explain to the girls how this things works.


I just couldn't resist including this picture. Sweaty Caroline in her Daddy's hat sure is cute!


Thanks to Uncle Sean for all the pictures. I only got a couple and they weren't all that great.
