We had a great visit with Uncle J, Aunt 'Chelle, and Cousin Emmie. Molly had a lot of fun playing with Emmie, and of course had to tell Emmie what to do. Here Molly thinks Emmie is making too much noise at lunch, and makes sure she knows it.
Aunt 'Chelle, Uncle J and Emmie were in town last weekend to meet Leah. Michelle scheduled their trip for 10 days plus 2 weeks after my due date and it's a good thing she did! It gave us a few days at home by ourselves in between G'Mom and Grampa leaving and them arriving.
Michelle kept saying that Leah was so snuggly!
Leah wasn't sure what to make of Uncle J.
Emmie was the baby of the family for several months, but was happy to transfer that power (by laying on of hands, of course) to Leah.
This was our best attempt at a picture of the three little girls. Apparently, Emmie thinks Leah needs to lean in as well.
When Jen and Michelle headed off for Jen's Sprinkle, they left me to entertain the two little girls. Since I'm leading music at worship this Sunday and needed to practice a bit, I thought a great form of entertainment would be a little live music. I think they enjoyed it.
Molly had fun just hanging out with Emmie. She may be a bit small to really play with, but that didn't stop Molly from doing what she could.
Aunt 'Chelle and Emmie came to visit for a few days this week. We had a great time reading books, going to playgroup, swimming at the pool, and playing at the playground. Molly did wonderfully with Emmie and I'm excited to see her as a big sister! Here are a few highlights from our week.
It was sad to see them go today, but we'll see them again in 6 weeks! You can see the rest of the pictures from their visit here.
Here's a bit of Molly playing while we were in Savannah. It's a bit random, but it gives you a good idea of our day-to-day these days.
As you saw a few weeks ago here, we took a trip to Savannah to see my extended family. In particular, we had a big Weeks family reunion for the first time in a long time. This video shows a bit of the reunion.
We spent an extra long 4th of July weekend in Savannah. Molly did incredibly well on the 11+ hour drive. We didn't even have to use the portable DVD player! Chad's Grandaddy lives on the water, which makes for lots of fun and relaxation.
Molly had a great time exploring baby crabs,
gazing into the water and watching boats ride by,
running on the dock,
and most importantly, relaxing with Daddy in the hammock.
We saw a lot of family since most of Chad's family lives in Savannah, but I think Molly had the best time with cousin Aidan.
And Molly was still looking as cute as ever!

Last week, Molly and I ventured to Memphis for a visit with G'Mom, Grampa, Aunt 'Chelle, and Emmie. If you saw me in the airport, you would have thought I was a crazy woman - toddler in stroller, diaper bag, purse, carseat in carrying case, and hugely pregnant! We spent 4 days visiting and had lots of adventures.
First we painted plates at Paint a Piece using paint brushes, hands, and feet.
Then we went swimming in a neighbor's pool. Molly's favorite part was squirting Grampa with the water gun.
We started out our second full day with some blueberry picking at Nesbit Blueberry Plantation. Molly did a great job and found lots of good blueberries hidden on the underside of the bushes.
That evening, after eating some home-made blueberry ice cream, Mom, Michelle and I combined all of our craft talents and worked together to make a tag blanket for baby girl #2.
Any time Emmie was playing on the floor, Molly liked playing with her. I hope this is a sign of how great of a big sister she will be!
There are a lot more pictures from our trip. You can view them here.
While in Birmingham, we had fun playing lots of games on their Nintendo Wii. One night, we all had a turn at Wii Boxing, which was lots of fun. Here's G'Mom's turn.
