Playing Catch-Up

I know it's been awhile since I have last blogged, and I could give you a long list of excuses as to why it's been so long, but I won't do that.  Instead, I will just try to catch you up on some of the things that have been going on in our lives since the last post.

Obviously, the school year has ended and we are about two weeks into our twelve week long summer break. We have been pretty busy, but we've had our lazy days as well.  We have spent some time at the pool, gone to Summerville for a week, Tillman got baptized while we were in Summerville, she turned 7 months old, our offer was accepted on a house about 3 miles down the road in Easley, and our house is now officially for sale.  The past week especially has been a whirlwind and Josh has done an outstanding job of making this whole moving process as stress free for me as he can. 

I would love to be able to share more pictures with you, but unfortuantely, not only have I slacked off in the blogging department, but I have also slacked off in the picture-taking department as well.  Some family members have some great pictures of the events from the past two weeks, so I will try to get some of them posted soon.

Here's what I have:

McKinley babysat Tillman for us one night when I had an awards ceremony at school and Josh was at grad class.  Tillman refused to go to bed in her crib, so McKinley finally got her to go to bed on the couch.  This is what I came home to that night.  Poor McKinley did a great job with an uncooperative baby.

Of all the expensive toys Tillman has been given or we have bought for her, her absolute most favorite toy has turned out to be some good ole fashioned tupperware.  The child seriously loves playing with and banging this little container around.

Thank you Nolan for letting us borrow this float.  Tillman loves it!

She loves the water.

Check out this over-sized float.

Aunt Leigh-Anne came into town for a surprise visit for Tillman's baptism.  She took the train from Maryland to be with us on such a special occassion.

And Tillman is passed out.  She had been up for about 5 hours with a lot going on around her.  This was her baptism day.  The picture is at the luncheon that was at my parents' house afterwards.

Tillman always has a great time over at Nanny's

Poor thing was up passed her bedtime again and waiting for her room to be ready.  Josh was busy taking care of some paperwork for our house in the room Tillman slept in and she just couldn't hold on any longer.

What a cutie!

What a ham!! She was in a silly mood.
