Destin with Friends

Destin, FL has been my family’s vacation spot for around 18 years. I went there as a little girl and now have the joy of seeing my son and husband enjoying it. Watching the waves and the sunsets (I’m not up early enough for sunrises) reveals Jesus' creation. I love it. We are even more blessed to have a condo that my granddad lets us use. We spent a week there and Thompson had a blast. I unfortunately came down with a summer cold which turned into ear infection and sinus infection so I wasn’t exactly at my best health. We still had fun.

I was surprised to find out the Cascio’s were in Destin for the week. Kristi used to come with my family every summer. Their family means the world to us and they are Thompson’s Godparents. Thompson had a blast with Sadie and Lilly. We love yall! Julia and B Jones came and spent the week with us (Ryan came for the weekend) and William joined us for a long weekend. The McCaleb’s came up and spent an afternoon and evening with us. We had a friend jammed week and it couldn’t have been sweeter!

McCalebs & Pearsons Memories

The McCalebs, our friends from WA, came to stay with us last week. We had a great time touring the Aquarium, eating lunch at the Varsity, and letting our precious boys, Mattox and Thompson play together. This was the first time our boys had met. Mattox was the first little baby William ever held. So, they are very dear to us and we just love them. I didn’t get many pictures because we were so busy catching up but here are a few.

Lucy had her 2 year old birthday at KangaZoom. Thompson had a blast and daddy had so much fun too. They were running and jumping everywhere. Her party theme was “Minnie Mouse.”

Lucy's Grandmother, Honey, made this amazing Minnie Mouse cake:

Random Fun

My cousins, Sara and Matt, came to visit for a weekend in July.  William was out of town on navy duty in VA so it was fun to have an extra set of hands to play with Thompson. We went to the pool, Steak and Shake and then to Mall of GA to have dinner with their folks. I had a blast playing clue with them and just soaking up some time with these two precious angels.

Water Fountain kids can play in (forgot Thompsons suit so he ran around in clothes)

This past weekend was "slow" for us. We went to visit our friends the Heath's whose son, Henry Phillip, was born 2+ months early. Lesley is now home and Henry is a good fighter and doing well in the NICU.

Saturday we worked out at the YMCA then took Thompson swimming. We just purchased this for him and it has changed the way he swims. We highly recommend it! In the evening, we headed downtown for a friend’s birthday party and brought Thompson a long. We tried to put him down in the pack and play but he wasn't having it so we left a bit early but had some great food and fun. Sunday, we had church and then community group!
