We are so big now that we don't have to use our trays - we can eat at the big table!

Alex is not shy with his 1/2 year birthday cupcake

Helen is so sweet - she is offering to share some of her cupcake with mommy

Ella wants to wrap up her cupcake in her mat and save it for later

Mommy decided that this seating arrangement made it easier to reach everyone. The added bonus is that now everyone is within reach and can trade food.

Last weekend we went up to Georgia to visit Cecil's grandmother - we got this beach ball at the store and let them play in the yard. Ella is not shy about checking it out.

Alex and Grandmother check out the yard and the new toys

Ella tries to pick it up but it proves to be a little too heavy even for her

Helen just likes to push her wagon and stay outside the range of the spraying water

April and Ella play with the bubbles

Helen with her wagon again

Now Helen decided she wants to try to catch the water in her shovel and Alex is trying to catch it in his bucket

Ella is checking things out in the grass

After church on Sunday, we tried to get a family picture
