We were playing Killer Bunnies (the reason for the odd conversation in the background) and Lydda Grace sat so sweetly at the table drawing on her magnadoodle. She is so intent now when she draws and colors and is really into circles these days.

goodbye Aunt BekBek and Uncle HaHa
Today we said goodbye to BekBek and HaHa (Rebekah and Javier) as they are officially moving up to Blacksburg this weekend for Javier to start a PhD and for Bekah to work for GE.
We are SO excited for them (especially since we've lived there and loved Blacksburg and VT!!), we know they are going to have a great experience and we know it's not super far away..... but it's a lot further than we have gotten used to, especially getting to see Bekah at the very least once a week.... we've been so blessed!
Today Bekah and Javier came for lunch and just to hang out for a while. We're already planning to visit them this fall and are hoping they'll get down here for a game even before then!
We went outside to play with the "spesh bubbs"
We love you guys!

special bubbles
This morning I told Lydda Grace that after our morning walk I had a surprise for her, we were going to make special bubbles! She was very excited and kept saying, "spesh bubbs!"
The bubbles were indeed special and very easy for Mama (I had everything laying around the house and put it together in under 5 minutes... can't beat that!). I do think that Lydda Grace was a little too young, because although she can blow regular bubbles, she couldn't get the idea of putting her mouth around the top of the bottle and blowing. She was however, perfectly happy for me to make the bubbles for her.
Here's the link where they tell you how to do this. Their pictures are much better because you can actually see the kids blowing the bubbles.

2 month check up
Today was Wade's 2 month check-up with the pediatrician. We knew he was a growing boy but were still amazed that he weighed 14lbs. 2oz. and was just over 24 inches long!! Wow! He is super healthy and doing great.
Wade's little personality is really starting to develop. We called Lydda Grace "Smiley Wylie," but I think this little guy may have her beat. He just grins at all of us (especially when he has a full belly and is really happy). He is very much a people person and loves to be talked to and when we stop he'll give a little cry until someone gives him some attention.
It has also been so special to see Wade and Lydda Grace's relationship beginning to form. She loves him and would smother him if we gave her full reign. When he's playing on the floor she will climb down right beside him and lay down and talk to him and give him "big hug," and "big kiss". He also really loves her too and will follow her with his eyes and is completely content when she's playing with him. We are definitely praying that their love for each other will develop into a sweet friendship over the years!

Wade's baptism
On Sunday, July 11th Wade was baptized. We were so blessed to have Granna Wylie, Memama Wylie, BeBe and PopPop with us for the baptism and lunch afterwards.
fish and cows
For Jon's birthday his mom took us to the GA aquarium! It was a very fun (and tiring) day!! Jon's Memama Wylie came too, we were so glad to get to spend some time with her and for her to meet Wade (as he is named after her late husband, Jon's Papa Wylie).
The fish were really amazing!
Yay! He finally went to sleep!
Lydda Grace was truly fascinated.
Looking at Nemo... she's never seen the movie so we still can't figure out how she knew to call the clownfish Nemo!
They had a big slide that was the inside of a whale and you came out the mouth. Lydda Grace had no hesitation and loved it!
At the 3D movie.
It also happened to be Chick-fil-a's Cow Appreciation Day. Here are Jon and Lydda Grace dressed (at 6:30am) to go get breakfast!!
And here we all are at dinner on our way back.
