Parker is 5 months old!

Time is flying...I really can't believe how quickly she is growing (and yes, I know everyone always says that). She is such a sweet girl. She loves to smile and when she does her whole body smiles - arms flailing and body shaking. When she decides that she doesn't want to be alone someone must be there immediately to either play with her or hold her. Parker absolutely loves Hudson; if he is in the room she is watching him. It is so great to see the relationship building already. Hudson has recently started asking, "where is my Parker?". He loves to hang out with her just as much as she loves to watch and touch him. Hudson and Parker are truly amazing gifts!

Hudson's hair is pretty out of control most of the time....but the mornings can be especially bad

Indiana!

This weekend Parker and I (Erin) packed our bags and headed to Indiana to see my Grandma Hazel - my dad's mom. She is 94 years old and we wanted to make sure she got to spend some time with Parker. While we were there we also got to see my cousins Michael, Billy and his wife Xochitl and my Aunt Mary. We had a fantastic time, once we got there! We were suppose to get in around 6:30pm, but didn't make it in until after 11pm. I had a layover in AL...that ended up being 5 hours due to weather in Florida. Praise God that I only had Parker with me this time and that she did an absolutely amazing job.

The weekend was very low key. We just hung around the farm and Sunday night we (Michael, Billy, Xochitl and I) went to Louisville.

Hudson and Maggie

Last weekend Hudson's friend Maggie came over to play before they left for California. Maggie and Hudson are about 3 weeks apart. They have the best time playing together and this time was no exception. Hudson and I will surely miss our play dates with Maggie and Suzanne...we will just have to go visit them in CA.

Hudson has a little Winnie the Pooh tent that we set up and they had the greatest time playing in it and eating their snack inside.
