Summer Lovin'

Labor Day for me has always meant the end of summer and the start of a new school year. If tomorrow was the first day of school for Anna there would be a chance she would have to share what she did on her summer vacation...so here are some of the highlights...!

Anna got to see many familar faces and meet a few new faces too...

Anna got to see her Ama and meet John..

She met Auntie Corey...


She played with Kandy, Nick, and Kaitlyn...

Anna also enjoyed spending some time with Auntie Lyn and Ryan...

Anna met Charlie dog! And had great fun chasing after him...

She met James and Kasia...

Anna also got to meet and spend time with her Great Great Aunt Marjorie

She spent some quality time in Scotland with her Granny, Grampy, Uncle Robert and Aunt Ruth

Some of Anna's adventures included going to her first wedding where they had these fabulous balloons to play with!

Who says it rains all the time in Scotland!? While Anna was there she got to play outside on the grass under a blue sky

Back home in Nashville, Anna went to Cheekwood Botanical Gardens to see the Chihuly Nights exhibit...

This lighted tower was one of her favorites...

And for all you Twilight fans Anna decided she is on Team Jacob!

Anna spent many afternoons playing with her big red ball...

Laughing herself silly at her reflection....

One of her favorite things to do is try and cuddle the cat! And laugh hysterically at him while he eats....

Anna flew almost 9,000 miles this summer...and while she's not old enough to earn frequent flier miles she did enjoy crawling around all the different airports.

And my favorite part? The smiles she shares with us daily...

Milestones not captured on camera!

1. Clapping

2. Shaking her head no at everything even when she wants something

3. Copying actions...for example raising both arms up when you do it, putting them down when you put your arms down....

4. Standing on her own..but not walking yet!

5. Becoming a very good eater...this past weekend Anna enjoyed some southern classics such as BBQ pulled pork and baked beans...she also had her first curry!
