Family Fun - Last week of August

Emmalee's parents came to stay for a week - in celebration Emma's bday and Liam's baptism. We had tons of fun everyday...photos not listed in order of events...many photos...brace yourselves.

Liam's favorite ride...on Tim's or my back.
Birthday Dinner

My 32nd Bday dinner at a Greek restaurant. Thanks to everyone. It was wonderful.


Wearing a tomato hat and reading war books with GranPapa.

"Grammy, I want your hat!" Liam was constantly trying to take Grammy's hats off.

Reading a book to Liam before he went to sleep.

GranPapa playing drums with Liam.
Lake Geneva

Returned to Lake Geneva...but we brought the senior Padgetts and Braggs.

This is one of our favorite places to visit...only an hour from home.

Observing the streams of water in the fountain.

Family photo. Notice the jackets because it was quite windy and chilly.

Such sweet photos! You'll have to tell the story behind the baptism gown. And Liam is getting so much hair and so big!

Liam is the beginning of the story of the gown. We purchased it recently with the goal of starting a tradition.

Watch out Emmalee, putting your child in a baptism gown (even little boys) is a very "southern" thing to do. Or maybe it's just a very "Savannah" thing to do.
