Visiting Aunt Brooke in NC

Gorgeous Beach in the Outer Banks, North Carolina

Mommy and Kelsey making their marks

One of many of our conversations :)

Thanks, Aunt Brooke for such a great time!

We got to see our friend, Keri, from college and her family (Chase, Clay and Baby Avery)

Couldn't resist :)

Daddy went for a boy's football weekend with his guys so Kelsey and I decided to take a girls trip of our own to visit Aunt Brooke in NC. We flew into Raleigh and spent a couple nights at Aunt Brooke's place in Carrboro. Then we hit the road and headed to the Outer Banks to spend some time at the beach. Kelsey is turning into a phenomenal traveler!! It was a blast and the seafood was yum-o! Thanks for everything, Aunt Brooke! We had a blast!

Reading, Then and Now

We've been reading to Kelsey since she was in the NICU and she truly LOVES books. She brings me book after book after book all day. Often, she wants her favorites reread over and over. Adam periodically takes a picture during our nightly bedtime story and this is a small representation. Our BIG girl!

Go Rams!

Day at the Park- 8/26/10

We fed the horses. Kelsey was interested, but a little nervous.

LOVED running through the park!

And there's nothing like "girl talk" :)

PBJ

After an initial minor reaction after eating PB, we tried again.

YUM

Kelsey rips the sandwich apart to get to the hidden treasure- JELLY!

"All done" sign

(Now she says it verbally! :)
