Happy Father's Day!

Adam gets to celebrate his First Father's Day today! Everett and I love him being a Daddy and can't wait for many more fun ahead! Also, Happy Father's Day to my own Dad and father-in-law. We actually get to celebrate today with my parents as they are still visiting here in NC. They were planning on leaving yesterday, but due to cancellation of flights, they won't be able to leave until tomorrow (or maybe Tuesday). So, they get more time with their grandson and we get to have wonderful quality time with them too. Here is what we've been up too this week:

We all helped to finish Everett's nursery as I found some nice additions the past week or so. Check out his super awesome "transportation" themed room! And yes, the red hanging airplane is our favorite!

Thanks to Melinda for making Everett's letters!!!

They are SO awesome!

My parents celebrated their 33rd wedding anniversary this past weekend! Adam and I took them to one of our favorite restaurants, The Mint. It was a great time and Dad got to use his camera some more for family pictures...

Random Fact from Adam: "According to N.C. Gov. Beverly Purdue, there are more generals at Fort Bragg (NC) than anywhere in the world other than the Pentagon."

Yay for grandparents!

My parents are in town and Everett is getting a healthy dose of being spoiled. My mom was here for a week before my Dad came and joined her. We have been enjoying shopping, going out to eat, and spending time with Everett of course! My Dad bought a new camera before coming to NC and needless to say, he has been testing it out. He is still working on figuring out the right settings, so some of the pictures have a yellow tone to them. I think he waited about 10 minutes upon walking into our house before taking it out and shooting pictures. Here's a small sample of those pictures...

Goodnight!

Random Fact from Adam: "Wow: "Texas created more new jobs in 2008 than all other 49 states combined." Texas is also one of only three states that is cutting taxes this year (Georgia and North Dakota are the other two), according to an editorial in the Wall Street Journal by the authors of "Rich States, Poor States" by the American Legislative Exchange Council."

Joining a family of eaters...

Everett is successfully eating like a champ like the rest of our family. Most of you know that my family loves to cook and loves to eat....and we can eat a LOT! Well, Everett is no different as he loves to eat as well. He enjoys eating so much, he gained 13 ounces in one week!!! Everett is weighing in now at 6 pounds, 7 ounces! We are loving his chubby cheeks and watching him get bigger every day.

Random Fact from Adam: "According to the Associated Press, the number of bald eagles in the continental U.S. went from 50,000 pairs down to 417 pairs by 1963. Today,there are more than 10,000 pairs, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Some populations by state:* Maine: 500 * New Hampshire: about 12* Vermont: 1* Minnesota, Wisconsin and Florida: more than 1,000."
