Upload

The past few times I have attempted to blog, I quit mid-post because the amount of time it takes to upload sends me over the edge. However, I am trying again….

First and foremost, I would like to introduce the newest addition to our family, Miss Lilah Belle DuBose.

My brother in law, Jep and his wife, my sis in law, Valerie, recently welcomed little Lilah into the world. Fortunately (due to a scheduled induction), John, Ollie and myself were able to make the trip to Birmingham to be there for the birth. I will not go into much detail, you can catch up on Jep, Val and Lilah here, but I will say that Val is my hero! ;)

Lilah Belle is the most beautiful little thing I have ever seen! She’s perfect and I cannot wait to visit and love on her again!

This past 4^th of July, we spent the weekend at the Gantt Lake. Our wonderful friends, Hal, Laura and their little one joined in on the fun. Unfortunately, I did not capture any pictures with the Lairds (Hal & Laura) but I did manage this picture of baby Murphy. I love this kid to pieces!!

Our days at the lake were spent swimming. The water has been super clear (for Gantt anyway). Lately Ollie has been swimming up a storm while wearing her swimmies! We do, however, have to keep a close eye on her because those skinny little arms can easily slip right out of her swimmies.

She has become a "river rat" and even tried out the slide (with daddy of course)

and rode the Polaris with me (John took this picture...terrible!)

Here are a few more from the holiday weekend...

Last I leave you with a few pictures taken by Leigh Ann O'Neal who owns Nanabell Art Photography.

Much love to all!
