Family Time

May was a busy month for our family. At the beginning of the month we traveled to Chattanooga to celebrate Sophie's soon-to-be-Aunt Liesl's graduation from Bryan College (our alma mater). We got to see Erik's immediate family (minus Peter...we missed you) and his grandparents as well. Later in the month Sophie and I flew up to VA to see my parents. We had a great week, but of course were happy to come home and see daddy again.

Sophie and Gigi looking at some fake animals in someone's yard.

Sophie with her Great-Mimi and Great-Papa. These are two super fun great-grandparents.

Reading a book with Pops. I have to give Roger credit...he did a great job with the tongue twisters in this book.

In downtown Fredericksburg with Gran.

Family picture #1 (the sweet version)

Family picture #2 (the embarassing version...as if the nose wasn't bad enough, it had to be her favorite finger as well)

First time on a slide by herself

First time in a sprinkler

Oh for the days when a big belly in a bathing suit is something to be admired.

The "O-Line" at the National Zoo...the Orangutans walk right over your head on these two ropes.

Sophie's not sure what to think about such behavior.

"Why look at the zoo animals when there's such wonder to behold on the back of my Papa's head?"
