Memorial Day Reunion

Every year the Coates family meets at Durley Campground outside of Greenville, IL for a family reunion. These pictures are compliments of Bob Coates, my great-uncle, who is much more of a shutterbug that I'll ever be. Thanks, Uncle Bob!

A few more pictures for you to enjoy from Lydah's first springtime.

Don't worry, we only allow her a teaspoon of dirt every day.

Yep, she's into everything now!

Mobility!

No pictures this time, but just a quick note that our baby is now officially mobile. As of yesterday, Lydah can scoot along the floor. She's not actually crawling, but she can push her body around by grinding her toes into the carpet and pushing. Yesterday she did it so much that her poor little toe has developed a blister. We'll keep you posted on all these earth-shaking milestones as they come.
