My BIG Little Life

Some may find my blog boring and somewhat mundane because it is simply a documentation of the 'happenings' in my life, which is why I call it "My Big Little Life." It's a huge and happy life to me, but my family is what makes it huge and happy. I love that friends and family read my blog, but it's certainly not an expectation. If you do read it I hope you can get a sense of how I live and what makes me happy.

8 Months and Growing!

We have been very busy this summer enjoying our time together as a family and with our families. We finally got Colston to Raleigh. (He had been once two weeks prior to our 'real' visit, but we were there for a quick overnight.) We had a nice weekend with Bruce and Anne and Beverly and Robert. Beverly had friends and family over Saturday so they got to meet Colston. Robert's daughter Jenny's boys loved him and were so excited to meet him. (Shown in pictures.)
Soon after we went to NJ to visit my family. We stayed for nearly a week so my parents got plenty of Libby and Colston time-- I think they were in heaven! They did lots of swimming and meeting with friends and family. We had a wonderful visit with Georgeanne, Sharon, and Lisa and their adorable children. (Picture shown) We are childhood friends and we all have babies now so to have them all together was truly special. Saturday we had a Sip N See and had a great turnout. Two of my friends brought their baby boys that are Colston's age and they made quite a hit all playing on the floor. (Picture shown) Sunday my aunts and cousins came to meet the babies-- it was long awaited for them. It was a wonderful visit.
We started swim lessons on Monday. (Pictures shown) In NJ Colston was amazing in the pool and doesn't seem to have a fearful bone in his body so I thought it was a good idea to get him used to other aspects of swimming (floating, water over head, kicking, etc.) He is a star student already is I do say so myself. There are 3 other babies in the class with us and he just laughs and talks the whole time. The teacher used him as the demonstrator for all the activities. He just went right to her and did everything she showed him. It is precious to watch and great memories in the making!
