Sterling Baby Shower

My company gave a baby shower for Kate today (which by the way is ONE month away from my due date)! Erik and Jackson came to visit for lunch, cake, and gifts. Jackson even got a "Big Brother" badge to wear!

Neighborhood Baby Shower

The neighborhood girls gave me a little baby shower for Kate! We had a great time, and baby Kate got a lot of good and much-needed stuff!

Adorable "Kate" cupcakes!

4th of July Weekend

We had a great weekend! We went to Oxford, AL, on Saturday to Aunt Jessi's parents' house. We hung out there for the day with Aunt Jessi's family, Scott, Bronx, Mimi and Pop. Then Mimi and Pop came back to Atlanta with us. We grilled out on the 4th and then went to see the fireworks! Here are some pictures (starting with Sunday night and going backwards!)

Some of the fireworks were a little loud, but I loved them anyway!

A Trip to the Beach...

Jackson loved playing in the sand...the water - not so much

Jackson and Grandma Rosie

As soon as Grandma Rosie walked in the door for Papa Ray's 90th birthday party, Jackson grabbed her and said, "Come play the piano with me." Grandma Rosie can play just about any song by ear. Jackson just stared at her and tried to play just like her! Even though he wanted to play Kid Rock at first, here they are singing "Jesus Loves Me" (we have a Zac Brown CD featuring Kid Rock on one of the songs Jackson likes).

Jackson's New Microphone

This is what I saw when I walked into the living room yesterday. Jackson rigged up his own microphone and stand out of a broom and a toy train whistle...and he was using the coffee table as his stage!

I'm a Big Zac Brown Fan!
