We Went to the Roadshow

We have had a nice couple of weeks here at camp, and it is hard to believe girls camp is over in a week and a half. Then co-ed...get ready! Shane celebrated his first father's day here at camp, and got beef jerky from Adaline, as well as an "I heart Daddy" outfit. (picture below) Although we were at camp, it was an alright day. We did take a short overnight trip to Raleigh this past weekend to go to the Antiques Roadshow, and discovered we are not secretly wealthy. Oh well, so we won't be on TV, but we still had fun and still like our yellow glass salad bowl from the 70s. I do not think we will be leaving camp again during the summer, because it was a long trip with a baby for just one night.
























The last few days have been a little tough on Adaline, as she has come down with her first cold. Luckily we have doctors and nurses at camp that have been very helpful. She has managed fairly well and is beginning to feel better and get more sleep at night. Adaline is growing quickly and is over 13 pounds now! Here are some pictures from the last few weeks.

Well...We have been at Cheerio for several weeks now, and just finished our first full session of campers (close to 300). So, needless to say, we are staying very busy here. Although, for me, it has been very wonderful (and a bit tiring) to be with Adaline every day. The weather is quite wet here, as it may be for many of you out there. It makes for some crazy camp days, and it is difficult moving a little one around in the rain. However, we have managed to get in some good times and activities around the wet weather and the campers are enjoying Cheerio. Adaline was able to help the Red team win in "Thrive" last week by turning in a few flags, and I think she looks forward to the day that she can run. :) She has also been able to be a part of a skit and a camp song, all at only 4 months of age.




















































Last weekend we had a nice visit from my mom, my aunt Kris, and my grandmother on my father's side. It was a short visit, but great to spend time with family, and for my grandmother and aunt to meet Adaline. Hopefully we can make a trip out to Colorado in the fall or winter for a longer visit.






















Our friends, Emily and Craig just had a baby girl enter their lives this week...a bit earlier than expected. We welcome Adaline's first baby friend, Kay Ellen Hardin!

Finally at Cheerio

We have had a few more busy weeks, but have now moved back up to Cheerio for the summer. We left you last with our trip to VA for Nick and Sarah's wedding. Adaline proved to be a great traveler again, but we did end up having to leave the wedding before the end (a first for me). She was tired of dancing :) The wedding was beautiful and outside on a fabulous day! We took advantage of the great weather that day with a family trip to Monticello to hang at Thomas Jefferson's place...the one from the nickel. After a wonderful long Memorial day weekend in VA, we headed home and back to work. We spent the week packing our belongings, which was a much harder process when you have to consider a baby. Shane left for Cheerio on Friday morning and I took Adaline to Apex for a few days to attend Emily's baby shower. It was good to have a little visit with friends before heading up to Cheerio for awhile. It was nice to be back, but I do know it will be a bit more challenging with Adaline at camp this summer. I did have some help with Adaline for a little bit to get a game of kickball in and that was awesome, even though we lost! Here are some pictures of our adventures these past few weeks.
