time with family

I had a week off between quarters, so we were able to spend some time with my mom's family in Michigan and Vashti's parents and siblings in Tennessee/Georgia, and then my sister and her son drove out from Virginia to be with us this week.

Our first fathers' day together.

Vashti's dad chose a unique approach to baby feeding.

My mother-in-law and me at Luna Falls in Georgia.

Evelyn's first swim. The water was a little chilly at first, but she really enjoyed it, even being splashed by her cousin, Jonah.

I love my cousin THIS much!

it don't mean a thing if...

Somebody in our neighborhood put this kids' swing on the curb, and we were shameless enough to take it. There was already a rope attached to a tree in our backyard all ready to go. The golf shoes I'm wearing are Evelyn's fathers' day gift to me! They haven't done much for my handicap yet...

Swinging is so fun!

But it's pretty tiring, too.

asparagusting!

So it turns out Evelyn doesn't like asparagus too much.

Notice the spatula on the floor - her new favorite toy.

Rolling over (actually not the first time it happened - just the first caught on camera).

First taste of solid food.
