Emerson's Baptism

HI! This blog is about my big day with my family!

Come back and visit real soon!

On a beautiful day in the mountains of Western North Carolina, Emerson was baptized at Christ School in Arden where Will went to boarding school. Father David Sailer performed the ceremony. Will's entire family attended for the special occasion after a fabulous brunch hosted by Will's Aunt Nancy & Uncle David.

Great Aunt Ellen gets some snuggle time w/ Emerson.

Big weekend!

Our friends Kelli, Erik, Carter & Lukas stopped by to visit this Sunday. Here are some candids of Carter and Webb enjoying the luxury of the wagon...Erik can visit any time to pull the wagon!

This was the same weekend that Webb started to sleep in the twin bunk bed. He did fine for the first nap. He didn't nap for the second one, he crawled out and started playing. Well, at least he had quiet time in his room.

Webb re-visited his swing this past week as well. Time for dad to trim the shrub before it consumes the swing!

All of these activities wore Will & Emerson out!

Charlie's birthday party

Last weekend we went to the birthday party of our friend, Charlie. Charlie is the first born of the Bradley Baby class we participated in two years ago (hard to believe time has gone by that fast!). It was a perfect spring day for an outdoor birthday party! Happy Birthday, Charlie~

Here are Evan (dad), Charlie (the Birthday Boy) and Audrey (mom)...

Nice farmer's tan, Webb.
His future's so bright, he's gotta wear shades...

The Strawberry Monster

Momma went to the strawberry patch today. I gobbled up strawberries for dinner! Double fisted~YUM!!!!

I'm a BIG mess! But they are sooo good!
I'm coming to get MORE!

Webb loves his books & his visits w/ Oma

We visited Will's mom last weekend to celebrate an early Mother's Day with her. Webb seemed to enjoy his visit.

He loves to read a good book. He sits and babbles while he turns the pages!

Emerson is ONE MONTH OLD!
