Our sweet Sullivan is one month old. I can't believe she has been with us for a month already! Time sure does fly by. She is getting to be so big and is getting really good at holding her head up. She has started to get her days and nights sorted out although she still loves to sleep all the time...until about 9:45pm...haha!
We spent the past week or so at Lake Rabun to celebrate the 4th of July with the Halters. We had such a wonderful trip. It is always fun to be at the lake but 4th of July is extra special. The festivities include the Rabun Ramble Road Race (shout out to PJ and Eileen for representing the Halters this year), the Wooden Boat Parade and of course the fireworks! I think it is safe to say Hudson enjoyed every minute of every day!

We spent the week swimming, tubing, and playing with cousins! Hudson is quite the daredevil and apparently has no fear. She didn't hesitate to put on her life jacket and jump off the dock and slide down the slide! She held her own with her three boy cousins and even got right in the mix when their friends came over to play! She rode the dragon and the halfpipe and swam like a fish.

As you can see...she LOVED going off the slide into the lake!

Hudson also got to see her very first Lake Rabun Firework show and she LOVED it. She kept asking for more after each boom.

Sullivan enjoyed the lake as well. She isn't quite old enough to swim or watch the fireworks but she took some good long naps on the dock and in the hammock!

Hudson bonded with her cousins and couldn't get enough of "P - Yay" or PJ as the rest of know him. He was so sweet to Hudson. He played with her and put up with her following him around everywhere. "Char-yay" or Charlie, was very sweet too.

One of the best parts of the week was getting to spend a few days with MamMam. I just love this picture...Hudson and my grandmother (who is 93 by the way) had a big time dancing, playing ring around the rosey and hanging out. MamMam is such a trooper!

We also took some time to do some tubing on the halfpipe. Hudson didn't love it...but she certainly wasn't scared. She went on it more than once and both times she FELL ASLEEP! I mean who falls asleep while tubing!

We capped off the week by celebrating BooBoo's birthday (a little early) and playing a few rounds of family hide and seek! Sullivan and I just watched but it was highly entertaining! Especially when Tom tried to hide in the closet only to exclaim - "My feet are too big to fit in here".
I think it is safe to say we all had a wonderful time on vacation!
