Scotty's 1st Beach Visit

Scotty and I were so happy to have Daddy come to Florida and visit us. I have never seen Scotty so excited to see anyone as he was when he saw his Daddy for the first time after a week of boring old Mom! Being away from Scott for even just a week reminds me of how blessed I am to have such an amazing husband and partner in this life. I am a better mom and person because of Scott and I am so grateful to him for all he does for me and for our family.
Baby and Daddy snuggling the morning after Daddy got in to Tally. Scotty is such a Daddy's Boy!!
While Scott was with us we got a chance to go visit Grandmother Fairbanks and Aunt Jetta with Itsy and Elaina. It was so good to see both of them. It was so nice to visit with Grandma about Grandfather's funeral and life. What an amazing man he was. How blessed I am to have such a rich heritage of amazing people for me and my kids to look back to as examples.
We also took Scotty to a beach on St. George Island. It was his first trip to the beach and he was his adorable little self! It was so fun playing in the sand with him and watching him react to the sand and shells. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pics of him eating the sand, but those facial expressions were so funny. Cole, Laura and Hannah were so good to Scotty while we were there. Thanks you guys for helping Scotty feel at home!! Cole was so cute how he would play with Scotty show him how different toys worked and helped him walk around the kitchen so he wouldn't fall. And thanks to Cole for teaching us that cool card game!!

Laura was such a good little mommy to Scotty. She liked to carry him around, but he was just a bit to big for her!! And sweet little Hannah, putting up with Scotty taking her toys and holding onto her for balance.

Thanks to Jen and Brandon for letting us visit you, we miss you guys!! Thanks also for taking us to the beach taking pics of our growing family. We love you guys!!

Hey Julie! It looks like you had a blast! I found your blog through Charlotte.

It looks like I will be available for visiting teaching on Nov. 30th. Would it be possible to reschedule to visit you next Sunday afternoon? Then Dantzel can come too :)
