Jam Packed June

June was a very busy month for us. David and I went and packed up my classroom for the summer (hope I can find things in the fall!). We went to a cookout with my teacher friends, had gamenight with our lifegroup (I think he only spit up on 3 people that night), and spent time with our friends Brooklyn and Kristen.

We also celebrated Grampa and Aunt Courtney's birthdays and Father's Day! On Father's Day we went to church at Southcliff and celebrated "Jeans and Jerseys" day. Aunt Courtney bought us all team jerseys to wear. Former NFL player Daryl Jones was a guest speaker (we missed hearing him speak - David was hungry). Then there was a cookout after church and we got to hang out with Daryl and his wife - ate some burgers, had conversation, hotter than all get out, but we had a great time.

David got his first set of shots this month. Three needle sticks. He screamed of course, but calmed down pretty quickly.

Next was a big milestone in David's life.........his first road trip which included his first airplane ride to New Orleans! David did absolutely fabulous on the plane. He ate as we got on the plane and then went to sleep after a diaper change (kinda tricky to change a diaper while stuck in your seat on a plane - definitely requires 2 people). David slept through the take-off, flight, and landing. People were commenting that they didn't even know there was a little baby on the plane as they got off.

Nana was (impatiently) waiting for us as we came out of the terminal. She had already talked to the flight attendants and her camera was ready to commence picture taking (I don't think the camera got a break the entire time we were there!) After picking up all the luggage, we piled in the car and headed to see Mum (formerly Mamaw). Boy did David make a haul when we got there! Between the hugs, kisses, and outfits (plus a new diaper) - David was a happy little boy with an even happier Nana and Mums!

And that was just the beginning! David got to meet so many people and do so many things while we were in Louisiana - please don't be offended if he doesn't remember you next time we see you :)

We helped Nana find a place for Aunt Kayla to marry soon to be Uncle Scott. It's gorgeous! We'll be back in LA for their June 27, 2009 wedding at White Oak Plantation. Can't wait (and I know they can't either).

Nana and Papaw got to babysit while Ryan and I went to Hattiesburg for my friend Paul Langham's wedding. Paul and Leslie came to our wedding and we were glad to be there on their special day.

Nana and Papaw took David to church and got to show him off. Then we had a bbq with the Laundry's and David got to meet Aunt Joey (again) and Uncle Lonnie, Steven & Stacy, Jon & Stacey, and Nanny. We ate good and had fun just being together!

David met so many friends: Mrs. Pam, David & Chloe Bordes (and their parents Shannon and Dave); Nancy, Bradley & Dylan Michelli; Charlena; Beth & Evan Vinyard; Nancy, Logan, Grady & Ben Brechtel, Mrs. Margie, Mrs. Susan, Mrs. Jackie....and the list goes on and on. Here's a great smiling picture with my college roommate Charlena.





Ryan only got to stay for a week and he went to work with Papaw several days, so it wasn't much of a vacation for him. But he had fun anyway - busting Papaw's fingers and all!
