It's A Baby Sister!

We are very pleased to announce the birth of

Avery Ann Gaines on July 20th at 9:56pm.

She weighed in at 6lbs 1oz.

Shower at work

The bank threw us a baby shower last week and
Aaron came to help open all the gifts. He was
the highlight of the party! Even though the gifts
weren't for him--- he didnt seem to care!

Happy 4th of July!

Aaron and Daddy hung a new
flag outside this 4th of July.

Weekend Trip to see Uncle Topher

On a spur of the moment decision we decided
to go with Gram and Paw Paw to meet Uncle
Christopher in Jackson, MS. Aaron was very
excited about seeing uncle Topher and staying
at a hotel for the weekend. For anyone concerned
about me traveling at 37 weeks pregnant... I did
google the hospitals in the area!


Here are the boys taking a photo to show Leah
that we were with Christopher


Jumping on the bed in the hotel room

While in Jackson we visited a great

playground. It was huge! We will have

to make another trip to Jackson b/c

I didnt realize all the fun stuff they have

to offer.

Cushaw Harvest

Paw Paw and Gram grew a great crop of
cushaw this year and the boys were on hand to
help with the harvest. As seen below even
Brooklyn joined in on the fun.

Paw Paw being silly!

Cushaw BIG and small

Random

Andrew repainting the house-- we went a
darker shade of green. He bought a paint
sprayer so that has helped get the job done.


Happy Birthday Pop Pop-
Aaron and I made him a really
good chocolate cake!

Aaron's first visit to Pop Pop's

Pop Pop came and picked up Aaron for his
first trip to Pop Pop's house all by himself for
3 days. The had alot of fun together. Pop Pop
even got to take Aaron fishing for the first time
and Aaron caught his first fish! He was very
excited-- the fish is actually in our freezer too!

Is it a brother or a sister??

Just 7 more weeks till we welcome a little
brother or sister. Aaron really enjoyed our 4D
sonogram this weekend... he said it was really neat!
He still is undecided whether he wants a brother
or a sister!

More swimming lessons!

Aaron accepting is medal and certificate.
