The Giving Tree

Daddy's been working hard to get our yard in shape this year. He has been planting and trimming with gusto. Recently, Caroline's favorite "sitting tree" caught his eye. Can you guess what happened next?

 

 

Our little tree hugger convinced Daddy to spare her tree.



The dogwood lives for another day, just a few branches barer!

The First Cereal Tasting

At Graham's fourth month doctor appointment, he got the green light to start on solid foods.

 

Graham's first meal in the high chair. Does he look nervous?

The first bite.

Graham say, "Dad, I prefer to look at these toys, but I will humor you."



"Mom, let me assist with my own fingers. Surely, it won't make a big mess."

Glam Girl

Caroline enjoyed a fantastic Memorial Day back in Atlanta.

He enjoys rolling from side to side and grabbing his newly-discovered toes!

Grammy's Retirement and Kensi's Birthday in Ohio

We all hopped on a plane to Dayton to celebrate several big milestones for the Holbrook family. The whole crew descended on Grammy's house for lots of parties and lots of eating!

 

Graham met GG for the first time!

GG, with two of her great-grand babies.

Caroline and Cousin Kensi, partners in crime!

Grammy's first retirement celebration at FMS, followed by a yummy dinner!

Cousin Kensi's first birthday celebration. Caroline appreciated Kensi's delicious birthday cake.

More birthday fun. Opening presents!

Cousin Kensi was also very interested in Graham.

Graham sought refuge in Grammy's antique buggy.

We could not miss a trip to Skyline with the whole crew, and we were lucky enough to meet up with the whole Stewart gang too. Caroline especially liked the dessert!

The girls left the boys to fish in the pond and headed to the nail salon...

Well, one boy tagged along. Graham was not disappointed to join the ladies.

Caroline's first pedi!

 

Color choice? Sparkly purple, of course!



Grammy with Graham, at her second SURPRISE retirement party! Congratulation, Grammy!



At the Dayton airport after a long, busy weekend. Ready to get back to Atlanta to rest!

 

Ballerina Girl

Caroline wrapped up her first year of ballet class (without Mom, that is) with a fabulous recital at Georgia Tech's Ferst Center. She performed a beautiful routine to "Some Day My Prince Will Come" and even led her class out on to the stage!

Caroline and her wonderful teacher Ms. Esther.

She melted Mom and Dad's hearts with her performance.

Aunt Audge and Grammy made the trip to Atlanta to see Caroline dance. Doesn't Graham look impressed too?

Nana and Papa were lucky enough to attend both Caroline and Cousin Mia's dance recitals on the same day!

Digits

Graham discovered the greatness of chewing on his own fingers.
