Heading East...

 The first week of August we headed to East Tennessee to see family and friends.  Casen met us for some swimming at our hotel pool.  Afterwards we snuggled in our towels.

 While in Knoxville we got to see our good friends the Robinsons.  We had some sweet time being with them and seeing their beautiful new home.  We know they are going to love K-town!  We went to Ham 'n Goody's with them for lunch, and I introduced Libby and Knox to their first Tea Cakes.  Safe to say, they were HUGE fans, just like me.

I think these are the first pictures of Libby's new haircut on the blog.  Mommy's attempt to "trim" it went a little shorter than I would have wanted, but we LOVE it now, and she looks so cute.  Plus it is much easier to manage.  More East Tennessee pictures coming soon...

Sad Goodbyes

We recently had to say goodbye (for now) to some of our favorite friends.

Kate and Carter are on the move to one of our favorite town, so for her birthday we got CC a UT shirt so she would fit right in



We had fun saying goodbye at a HOT cupcake party at the playground.





A few days later we hit the zoo with the Browns. They are also moving away. Griffin and Libby have changed quite a bit

We enjoyed spending some good zoo time with them before they left






but the zoo can be a bit stinky at times...

We will miss our friends so much! We know the Lord is going to bless them as they leave us, and we hope that we will still see them a lot!
