BEACHES AND SHOVELS

Digging is one of your very favorite activities as of late. And "shovel" (I carry one with me wherever we go) and "beach" (what you call even the smallest patch of sand you see) are two of your favorite words. You are such a passionate digger that often other kids at the park will take note and want to help. So we now carry multiple shovels with us. It's so cute! xo

ATLANTA TRIP 2016

Last month you and I accompanied NaeNae to Georgia for our annual Atlanta trip. NaeNae takes part in a local art/chalk festival while you and I hang out in the city and visit mommy's favorite cousins. You had a ball, of course. And above is NaeNae's finished portrait. I still can't believe she created this work with chalk. It blows my mind.

Highlights of our trip include swimming at the hotel pool, playground-hopping downtown, and of course, visiting with your aunties Tina and Jess and uncle Peter. xo

MURAL MURAL ON THE WALL

We were out and about in Raleigh's Warehouse District not long ago when we ran into one of NaeNae's murals. And then a mural depicting Raleigh artists. Yep, another artist painted your grandmother in a mural a few years ago. When you saw it you thought it was very amusing! xo

EVERY DAY IS AN ADVENTURE WITH YOU

I'm so glad that I get to tag along with you, love!

COUSINS

I borrowed these photos from your auntie Gina, because they make me so happy. You love your cousins more than anything. And you sing Isla's name every single day at some point. I'm so glad that you have Isla and Louis in your life. You love them so.
