Skype

So the new exciting thing in our house is that we got a camera for our computer so we can communicate with my family via skype, so they can see us (well, lets face it, they really just want to see Emmory, haha :) and we can see them. I am so thankful for modern technology, so that even though we live so far away my family will still be able to see him as he grows. We were talking to my entire family last Friday night while they were all over at my parents house for a BBQ, and Mark snapped a pic of the computer screen which I thought turned out quite good. It ended up being a close up of my moms face, haha, and in the bottom left corner you can even see Mark taking the pic in the box that shows our video.

Here's a pic of Mark and Emmory playing after church one Sunday. I love this outfit that my Mom bought for him, and I love his big happy smile even more!

This is a pic I took this week, all three of my boys together, being very serious. Actually I think they are just watching tv; which we have recently discovered that Emmory loves. One day he was on the couch watching tv with Mark, and then Mark laid him back so he couldn't see the tv anymore and he started to fuss, then when Mark brought him back up so he could see it he stopped.

I took this pic today, E was playing with his play gym and he started batting at the toys above him, then I noticed that he had grabbed hold of one of the toys. He's learning and growing so fast!

We are starting to get very excited for our big trip to the Pacific Northwest. We'll be leaving a week from tomorrow, Wednesday the 29th and flying to Seattle, then the next day we are driving to Cannon Beach, Oregon for vacation with my family. We will probably stay there til Tuesday or Wednesday, then come back to Seattle for a few days and head back to SC on Saturday, August 8th. We can't wait to see my family and spend time with them, and for them to see how much he has grown; and also introduce him to all the extended family who haven't met him yet. But that's not all, when we get back from Seattle we will have one day to recover and then we are heading to Pawley's Island, SC to spend the week at the beach with friends from church. We are excited about this trip too, I've never been to Pawleys Island, and we are going to be staying at a house right at the beach. It's going to be a crazy couple of weeks, and would appriciate your prayers as we travel. I know it will be a little trickier travelling with a baby, but it's important to us to be able to do that so we might as well start him early.
