Olive June's 2nd Birthday and More!

Here's our beauty on her day. It is hard to believe it has been two years. It is also great, for Olive June, to have a birthday that is not overshadowed by other circumstances.

Everyone that attended Olive June's Party seemed to have a great time. Olive spent her time drinking pink-lemonade, swinging on the swings, and drinking pink-lemonade (she drank a lot of lemonade). I want to thank Claire Adams for some of the photos provided below; please check-out my links where her link is located (The Green Gate).


Here's the cupcake spread.

She still loves here Cozy Coop.

Last week our family watched the Cole girls, Maybre and Evy, and we went to the park. We had a really good time at the playground and hiking around the park.




Holding hands; how sweet.

Here are some photos of our family from a visit to another park.

On May 20th Mollie and I celebrated our 9th Wedding Anniversary. Last year, our anniversary was the day we got Griffin's first diagnoses of Leukemia. This year, our friends wanted to do something special for us to celebrate our marriage and where we have come since last year. Since Griffin was born we have never had a night out alone, so our friends got a reservation at Hotel Indigo, in Athens, for us. Here are some photos of the amazingly beautiful room.



Here is a gift basket we also received. It had a bottle of wine, a bottle of St. Bernardus Abt. 12, Restaurant vouchers for "The Last Resort" and "The National," and more exciting gifts.

Mollie enjoying the room.

Here is a photo I took over our shoulder and into a mirror before we went out to dinner. We enjoyed an exceptional dinner and had a couple drinks in the cool Hotel Lounge. The next day we got to sleep in until 8:30.

We greatly appreciate all our friends who contributed to our Anniversary extravaganza. We are so thankful and blessed by everything you did and do.
