Let the Unsupervised Play Begin...

Just kidding! But seriously, we finally got a privacy fence in our backyard! Now I don't have to take everyone back inside for every potty break or phone call. Now we can have friends over and not worry about their little ones wandering out front into traffic.





Now we just need a combination lock for the gate, to keep Jude inside!

Big Changes...

Big Changes are coming to the McDonald Backyard!





Stay tuned for the "After" pictures....

Happy Independence Day!

Busy June

So we started off June with a visit from Aunts Sarah and Heidi. Noah and Jude had so much fun playing with their cousin Bodie... he is already 10 months old!



While they were here we had a little party to celebrate Daddy's 34th birthday! Noah helped me make a yummy lemon cake for the occasion.



Then we piled in the car to drive up to Virginia for Taylor's high school graduation. Jude decided to cry most of the way there and as a result, we stopped what felt like every ten minutes. We were very happy to finally get to Uncle Shawn and Aunt Regina's house! We spent the next 4 days running around and watching the kids play together.



After visiting with family for a few days in Virginia, we headed down to Myrtle Beach for 5 days. We had never been there before and we probably won't go back- let's just leave it at that! We did enjoy the aquarium and Noah played his first game of miniature golf. Here are some photo highlights of the trip:
