Farm Vacation

Amelia spent a few days on the farm.

We also got to celebrate Amelia's birthday at the farm.  What was supposed to just be a simple get together before we went home to Lubbock turned into a birthday party with cakes and decorations provided by Kimberly, hamburgers and hotdogs provided by Poppa, and some surprise guests!  Grandmother, Poppa, Big Poppa, Uncle Kenny, Aunt Marikay, Cousins Dawson and Shanna and their kids: Joshua Stephen, Caleb, and Mary Beth, Aunt Jana, Cousins Sarah and Evan, Uncle Daniel, Aunt Kimberly, Cousins Tara and Brandon, and our special friend Haley and Cousin Robby all came to celebrate Amelia's birthday.  Uncle Donny, Aunt Rachel and cousin Reece sent Amelia some special presents from Virginia. Thanks everyone!

Maryland Vacation

Amelia and Tom have the same birthday and Cousin Emma's birthday is 3 days later.  We also needed to see Amelia's newest cousin, Maya...So, off to Maryland!

Amelia loved Emma's couch/sofa and I have to find one for her!

Off to the zoo!!

Cleaning the dog.

Grandmother bought Maya and Amelia matching crab outfits in honor of Maryland crabs.

Then we went "down the shore" as the Marylanders call it.

Waiting for their daddies to come back.

Birthday time!

Back to the Atlantic!

We LOVED our trip to Maryland.  Amelia had a great time with her cousins, and Tom, Jenny and the von Paris family made us Texans feel right at home.  Thank you and we love you all!
