Mother's Day Lunch

Today I had my mom and Big Mama over for a late Mother's Day celebration. We had a great lunch together with just the girls. I was also able to give them the flowers I picked out for them for Mother's Day. I actually made them pose with their flowers, and they were really good sports about it. I thought the arrangements were gorgeous. I got them at the Garden Shop in Homewood just down from our house. I love that place, and the staff is so helpful. We also got Robert's mom a beautiful pink rose bush there for her Mother's Day gift. I ended up having to run back to the office after lunch but my sweet mom stayed and worked on some of my plants for me. Thanks mom!

Weekend at the Lake

This past weekend we were able to travel to South Carolina to surprise Robert's mom with a Mother's Day visit. We had a great time relaxing at the lake, catching up with family, and playing with our nephew and niece - who are both getting so big and are just too funny.



As you can see from the pics, we spent lots of time riding in the boat, water skiing, and riding in the boat some more.


Tallon brought his jeep from his house and loved driving it around the yard.

And here's his sweet baby sister Tess, who I somehow only managed to take this one picture of while she was napping on the way to church Sunday morning. She's growing into such a big girl and has the sweetest personality and the best smile.

I actually ended up taking more pics with Rebecca's camera, so I'll have to get some of those and post them here. Robert's dad also got some good family shots with the entire clan. It was great to see everyone and enjoy our little mini summer vacation since Robert hit the ground running on Monday with his May term class and life jumped back into full swing. Thanks for your hospitality Adams family! We loved seeing you guys.

Comparison

I had to post this pic taken a few weeks ago at small group when we started comparing the size of Helen and Luke. Helen (for my non-small group readers: the baby on the left in case the pink outfit didn't tip you off) is a very healthy 14 month old. Luke is a ginormous 4 month old. As you can see, they're nearly identical in size. At 3 months, Luke measured in the 95th percentile in height and weight. I'm always curious to see how much he has grown each week. He's a hoss!
