Catch-up: Lake Powell

The catching up continues:

In June, Nate's parents rented a house boat for everyone to stay on at Lake Powell.  I had never been so I was so excited, and so impressed!  What a beautiful place to vacation!  The water was so cold, still in the 60s while we were there, but some times during those HOT days it was nice and refreshing, yet shocking!  Here are just a few pictures of our visit.

 The water was a bit too cold for little Morgan, she could only enjoy it for a few minutes.  So we rigged up a bucket, pulled some water up to the top deck, and let it warm up in a little pool for her.

 We discovered that Morgan loved drinking ice cold water, even when it would trickle down!  "Big girl cups" are still one of her favorite things.

 All of the kids enjoyed reading stories everyday.  Too bad we only had 3 books to choose from.  Did you know that Mr. Brown Can Moo?  Can you?  You should try it.

 I loved watching Morgan with her cousins Hudson and Ellie.  Cute Hudson kept coming close and would say, "You're such a good girl," in his cute little I'm-an-adult-acting-like-a-baby voice.

One of my favorite things to do with Morgan is blow on her side and arm pit and listen to the giggles!

Catch-up: Visit to NC

So after about 4 months of not blogging, I'm finally back!  Yea!  It seems that the combination of an old computer and a new baby equals a full hard drive.  So much has happened in that time, but I'm just going to do a quick catch up.  Here goes...

Back in April, we decided that Morgan's flat spot wasn't getting any better so she was fitted for a helmet.  I was SO sad, I love kissing her little head, but had to do what was best for her.  She handled it like a trooper.

At first the helmet seemed so large, but after a few weeks it was trimmed down and we added some cute vinyl flowers, and I guess after a while I just got used to it.

In April we also visited Harkers Island to celebrate Easter.  It's so nice to go back and visit family, especially knowing how much they miss me.  Did I say me?  I totally meant Morgan.  That's really who they miss now.  We enjoyed some great photo opportunities while enjoying the view.

I love this picture!  It makes me think she's enjoying the smell of salt water!
