A week in the country...

June 26 - July 3

Knotts Island is a small island off the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It is super close to Virginia Beach, but seems like a world away. It's out in the country. It's beautiful. It's sitting on the back porch, working the vegetable garden, playing cards at night. It's family.

Xavier got to visit his Mema and PopPops for his 1st birthday. He couldn't love them more! All we have to do is say PopPops, and X starts laughing. Mema's food definitely made X super happy...he loved all of her dinners, especially her homemade Chicken and Rice. Yum!


Mema, X and Bear Bear




Can we say love anyone? PopPops loves his Little Man.

Xavier received so many toys and gifts from his PopPops and Mema...seriously, he didn't know what to do with himself. Every time he turned around, there was something new to play with in front of him. He is a lucky boy!!
Surrounded by toys...and goldfish. X even got his own goldfish container!! WOW!


Trav's old John Deere tractor...awesome!
Trav's old tricycle! X loved it!

First time with bubbles...pure joy!
We had a barbecue with Trav's Aunt Marcia, Uncle Jack, and cousins Jack and Alex. It was a blast!

The boys...

Learning to high five!
What a great week! Family, friends, lots of home cookin', and plenty of love and laughter!

Let me outside to play!!!

Happy Birthday Xman!

Xavier turns 1!!! Unbelievable! Our little baby is growing and changing so fast! He is becoming his own little self - it is really amazing to watch. All of a sudden, X is communicating with us. I asked him to give me his sippy cup in the car yesterday, and he handed it to me!! We tell him to open his mouth so we know he has finished chewing and he does it! Crazy cool! He loves to play guitar, bang his drums, and giggle with Daddy. He loves when we chase him around his play yard, laughing when we catch him. Our little man has a sweet spirit. His cool, fun personality is unfolding every day.


We love you more than you could ever imagine X!
