August's Birthday Party

Pics from August birthday... check out the present he had a difficult
time opening... love the shot scratching his head to figure it out
;-).

Inflatable Obstacle Course

Aeden and August loved the inflatable obstacle course after church. I
wasn't quite sure about August climbing up the wall - but man if he
didn't scoot right up there.

August at Aeden's First Soccer Game

Not sure how we ended up with only one cropped picture of Aeden at his
first soccer game and lot's of good shots of August. All I can say is
Cathy had the camera (how do you like that for passing the buck ;-).

Edward Joseph Ernst Shealy

We are offically Aunt and Uncle and cousins.

From the proud new parents...

Little Edward is a remarkably quiet baby overall. He will cry but
only for a few seconds, and then stop.
It is amazing how quiet he is. I was told that I was a lot like this as a baby.
Erica and I will most likely be here through tonight and may
leave tommorrow. Because she had a C-section, she has had a lot of
pain & had to rest.

Hiking up Heartbreak

Nice family hike - saw a few mountain bikers and had some decent
views. The kids enjoyed it.

Warren Wilson College's Pump Track

This was a blast... for all the kids (including the older ones ;-).
Aeden was asking when we could come back, even before we left and this
after a nice fall and corresponding scrape.

And check these out...
