My Babies at 4 Months

Ava
Emet
Owen
Weight: 12 pounds 6 ounces-5%
I don't remember his length or head circumference, but
they were both in the 50%. We have a long and lean little boy!

A lot of catching up to do...

We were blessed to be able to go back to North Carolina (with a quick trip to South Carolina too) a couple of weeks ago. We went to spend time with my family and enjoyed a trip to the mountains and time in Hickory. It was great to get away for a few days. The mountains were great and time in Hickory with Mom, Dad and some of my closest friends was good too! We made a day trip to South Carolina and packed in a lot. We spent time with family and friends over the course of 24 hours...it was a whirlwind, but we are glad we did it!

On our porch swing in the mountains...my Mom and Dad with Owen
Owen rolled from his belly to his back while we were there!
A divided family for sure!
So sweet!
My cousin's little girl, Kaleigh and Ava had a blast playing together!

We were back in Hickory for one of my best friends, Kellie's little boy's birthday. Ava and Eli are 3 and a half weeks apart. I thought last year would be the last party we made it to for a while, but I was so excited that it worked out for us to be there this year too!!! I love Kellie, Eli, Ian and Andy! I am so thankful for her and her friendship, what a blessing!
Papa Simmons and the kiddos
All of Jon's grandparents met Owen for the first time on our trip.
Mama Simmons and my 3 boys
Mama Chasteen...sweet kisses!
We visited grandparents for most of the day. We were able to grab some time with another one of my best friends, Tracey and her family. I love time with Tracey, Asheton and Bailey. I'm thankful for them, their friendship and count it a blessing to have them as a part of our lives!

Kelsey and Owen
My sweet friend Carrie...Carrie came up to Boston with FBNS on their spring break mission trip. I was able to spend some time with her that week. She is an amazing woman, wife and mom. I am encouraged and challenged by her! I love you Carrie!
Back in Hickory and Dad took us to the driving range...fun times!
I love these girls and their boys. Leigh Ann and Kellie, my best friends from college, are amazing and I love soaking up any time I can get with them. We enjoyed a night at Chic-Fil-A for Eli's birthday. The kids had a blast playing and we enjoyed catching up. Love you both!
We were so thankful to have time with Mom and Dad and appreciate them making this trip possible. It was great to be with them and spend some time together. We love you guys!!
