September

Everett likes her new dog from Joanna

September was busy with Patrick and Laura's fourth wedding anniversary, our trip to the beach and our trip to North Carolina to see Oona and Curtis and meet Max. We celebrated our anniversary at Paramount Grill and listened to a reggae band after. Everett had her first overnight at Grama and Grampa's. Laura met up with Jenny and Joanna for a visit with Maggie and Everett (and Jenny's cute baby bump) on the 22nd. Everett has become quite a good eater. She'll eat anything we're eating put through the grinder: stuffed peppers, chicken parmesean, minestrone soup, burritos etc. the more seasoning the better! She belly crawls like crazy and Patrick put up a baby gate across the threshold between her playroom and the kitchen and started working on a banister for the other side of the playroom. She had her 6 month check-up with Elizma at Dr. Benton's. She is 81st percentile for height and weight, 92nd for head circumference. Laura and Grama took a great two day course on the SCERTS model for autism intervention and Patrick got lots of time with Everett. The Benzo and the fridge have been on the fritz but at least the A/C is still working. Highlights of the month was the birth of Tim and Jen's daughter Aria and a call from Carrie to say that Gator onsies sold well at the boutique.


Hanging out with Joanna

 Apparently there is a similar picture of Patrick in existence

 Looking awfully happy for someone who is in jail.

 Headed out for the night on our anniversary. Still looking good.

A frequent face this month

Casey and Karla's Wedding



Patrick traveled to San Diego for the weekend of the August 13th for Casey and Karla's wedding. Saw Casey, Karla, Cody, Jason, Ally and Mark.

Trip to Raleigh to meet Max

Laura and Everett flew to Raleigh, NC for the weekend to visit Oona and Curtis and meet baby Max. Max was 2 months old and Everett was 6 months old. They were fast friends as expected.On Saturday Oona and Laura took the kiddos on a nice walk around a big pond and to dinner at a pizza place in Apex. On Sunday we toured the state farmer's market before flying home.





They had their first date. They met at the bar, she had a wine, he had tequila. Conversation was a bit lacking, but when it is true love, you don't have to say anything at all. You can just be together.

Everett's first trip to the beach


We went to the Crescent beach for one night with mom, Judy Angley and family Sept 10th and 11th. Everett wasn't too sure what to think of the beach, but she sure looked cute in her suit and hat.
