A Hot Day at the Park

Felicity loves slides as long as she is in my lap. I bought her a tiny Little Tike slide that is in our living room and she will do that by herself, but anything bigger is usually with mommy or it is scary.
She often leans forward like this in the swing, and just goes limp.
Won't be long before Felicity can climb up like her cousin Sarah.

Mini Golf



I took my niece Sarah to a mini golf course here. Only I didn't get to play because Felicity decided she needed my ball. Felicity especially enjoyed putting the ball in each hole. She still isn't the best walker, and you can see in the second picture the slope was too much for her to walk, and she had to crawl down. Sarah for the next 48 hours kept saying how at the last hole her ball disappeared.

Visit to Petting Zoo

Cousin Sarah came and we went to a little farm/farmers market called Strawberries on 903.


Felicity really is fearless. Before these pictures were taken, the goat had pressed his head into her hand while she was holding the rail. A minute later after she stopped crying, she reached out to touch the goat again. The picture where I am holding her where it looks like she is crying, she is actually laughing.

Flower Face

Felicity is doing the baby sign for flower or smell. Whenever we say flower or smell or she sees flowers (which is quite often) this is the hilarious face she makes.

Just the 3 of Us

Here is the lovely wallpaper that was found under the other wallpaper when we had our living room repainted last week. Original 1973 wallpaper we think.

Here is our most recent family picture. You can see the side of our house, our gazebo and swing in the backyard.

River Trip


We spent three wonderful days at our friend Stephanie's house on the Chowan River 2 weekends ago. The porch was overlooking the river and only a few feet away. We spent so much time in the shallow water and Brent went kayaking several times. Felicity got lots of attention from our friends (Stephanie, Jamie and Charles) that were there. We can't wait to go back! Sunday morning we had a worship service on the porch and it was amazing to worship surrounded by such beauty.

Chinese Clothes



Felicity wore her qipao, a tradional Chinese dress, to church on Sunday. She was so cute and got quite a few comments. I had her in her squeaky shoes from China too. The qipao was from our friends the Fischers and the squeaky shoes from our former student in China, Amy. I thought about and missed our friends in China all day.
