July: A month full of Birthdays!!

America's birthday....celebrated with fruit kabobs, corn on the cob and stripes!

 Lily's birthday began with a journey to the beach in a well decorated Black Pearl (including a brunch stop at IHOP....the girl knows what she wants!)

Caroline's Third Birthday!

We had a small gathering of family to celebrate Caroline's 3rd birthday this year.  Since both of the girls birthdays fell right at the same time we were moving we did our best to keep the celebrations festive, but simple this year.  Emily outdid herself as usual on the cake for CJ....yes, that is all Emily (though I did help sort the M&M's)!

Lily's 6th Birthday Party

Things are kind of crazy right now, the house is half packed, Emily just finished her fellowship and is preparing for boards, and we are about to begin the process of moving our household back to the JC.  But, none of this was a reason to stop us from throwing a birthday party for Lily before leaving Winston-Salem.  We had it at Airbound....the indoor trampoline park.  Lily's friends from class and our neighbors came to celebrate.  In addition to wishing Lily a happy birthday, it was also a chance for her to say goodbye to her friends.  Here are some pictures from the festivities.

 



 

Last weekend was a farewell party for one of Lily's good friends in Ms. Horton's class.  Megan is the daughter of one of the surgical Sports Medicine fellows, so Emily new her dad from work.  Here they are together.  Megan and her family moved to Memphis.
