VA/NC for the 4th of July!

I know it's been a while since I've posted anything, but I'm still recovering from our travels back east to celebrate Parker's 1st birthday (yes, again!) and spend some quality time with our family and friends.  The trip was amazing!  We surprisingly made it there in one piece (flying with a 1-year-old is no easy task)!  We were so blessed to have the entire Walsh/Corack family and the entire Todd family together to celebrate Parker.  Plus, an added bonus - Sarah, Rob, Reid and Clare drove from Charlottesville to be with us as well.  We can't thank you all enough.

Parker saw the beach for the first time!  Boy did he love the water (that's no surprise - the kid LOVES to splash)!  He only tasted the sand once...he's a quick learner!  We spent the 4th of July with the Tyls and were so happy to have finally met Ben!  What a bruiser!  We can't wait to watch him grow!! 
Ryan and Sarah also came down from Northern Virginia to visit for a few days.  They were so thoughtful to bring some of our favorite goodies from Sweetwater!  Thanks guys! 

For everyone who traveled, visited and went out of their way to see us, THANK YOU!  I hope you all know how much we miss you and can't wait to see you again.  We are so lucky to feel so much love from so far away.
