THE GREEN HOUSE: 2 for 1...

First off, big shout out to my IT guy, Jake. I don't know your last name, but you are my hero (next to my sweet hubby and my Dad)! My computer is healed;)

Ok... the 2 for 1 is a combo of Father's Day and July 4th. For Father's Day we headed up to ATL. It was a wonderful celebration of all the "dads" in my life (my Dad, my husband, my bros-in-law), complete with an amazing dinner made by my sister and plenty of pool time. I know that it's been over a month now, but let me just take a sec to brag on my husband (Ryan)'s skills as a Dad.

He is a FANTASTIC Dad to Campbell! He has really shown me the value of teamwork in parenting, as he jumps in right when I need him to change a dirty diaper, entertain while I make dinner or just rescue me when I need a breather. He is always able to make Campbell laugh and also to make her feel protected. I love watching him with her, as they watch golf on the couch or share a bite (or 2 or 3 or...) of cereal. I love watching his 6'5" frame hold her little body as he puts her to bed. I love hearing the nursery rhymes he sings to her. I am amazed at his wisdom and insight as we figure this parenting-thing out. I am just in awe of how awesome he is as a Dad. Campbell is a lucky and blessed little girl! All that to say, enjoy this sweet picture of my sweet baby and my sweet Ryan.

Onto July 4th... we headed up to Hiawassee, GA for a loooonnggg weekend. Hiawassee is where my parents built their mountain house, and it is wonderful for some instantaneous relaxation. We had a wonderful time, as both my sisters and their families were up there too. With the exception of some sleep disturbances caused by about 6 teeth coming in at once, Campbell was a trooper for the 7 hours there and back down to Daphne. Ryan enjoyed some golf with my Dad and brothers-in-law, I enjoyed a little wine with my Mom and sisters, and Campbell enjoyed getting her toes painted by her cousins. We are always sad to return after such great food and fellowship in such a gorgeous setting.
