Landrum Meets Tight Knot

On our way home from the beach we decided to tack on an impromptu visit to Philaldelphia to see Jared's family. It was a short but great visit and we are so glad we made the detour! We had several wonderful meals and Landrum loved visiting her Mimi and Pop and Bebe and Grandaddy! She also made a new friend while we were there. Landrum met Tight Knot the horse for the first time and it seems they liked one another. Tight Knot was very patient with Landrum even when she stuck her fingers up his nose! Here are a few pictures from Philadelphia and Landrum's first encounter with a horse!

The Beach

With much excitement and anticipation we packed just about everything we own and headed down to Seagrove Beach Florida last weekend for a fun filled family vacation. We went with my (Jayme's) whole family, sisters, babies, parents, and grandmother included. We had a big house rented right on the beach for a week and everyone was really looking forward to it. The week did not dissapoint. The weather was perfect, the beach - nearly empty, the water - warm, the house - huge, and the family time was wonderful. Landrum had a wonderful time and is definitely a 'beach -girl', much to her parents delight! The week was a fashion show of swimsuits for her as she has 4. She is 6 months old with 4 swimsuits.. good grief. Each morning we loaded everything up (with 4 family units and 4 small children it was no small feat to set up our 'beach camp' each morning - tent included) and headed down to the water for the day. Landrum had a little floating 'boat' that she could sit in and play in the sand with her cousins or go for a dip in the water. She loved sitting in the surf and letting the waves come up on her legs! She also adored the swimming pool even though the water was about 50 degrees.. she would just float all around lounging in her little boat. It was hilarious! Here are several good shots from the first of many family beach vacations!

Family Picnic

The weather has gotten so beautiful that we thought it would be a good day for our first family picnic. There is a nice park around the corner, so we packed Landrum along with our lunch and headed out. Here are a few shots of our outing. I think Landrum enjoyed the swing more than the slide. Also included is a video of her making bird calls in the Landrum Leaper.
