Getting Settled in our new home

Posted by gilmanfam1 at 09:59 AM on August 18, 2009

August is flying by already! We are staying busy with unpacking, playing intramural volleyball on base (3 times last week!), starting Kaley in AWANA, exercising, making new friends, enjoying the hot summer and checking out churches. Did I mention unpacking? Amaris is growing like crazy. She hit 12 weeks and kept right on going and started giggling this week. Here are some pictures, enjoy!


Luke came down to visit. The girls love their uncle and Amaris wonders about that fuzzy stuff on his face




All 4 kids with their Uncle



Luke and 3 of his friends flew to California to pick up our stranded Trans Am and drove the convertible cross country in a week long roadtrip. What a huge help! They had fun and we can't wait to have our car back. We still think they are crazy for putting 4 grown guys with two having to ride in the tiny backseat



My smiling strawberry



Getting ready to try out the pool



Not so sure what to think of this...



We spend a lot of time out in this pool. It's great! Fun way to reward hard work/exercise by cooling off and Kaley loves it. We did however learn that the filter makes a HUGE difference. It broke when it got water in it and our pool turned scary green in a matter of days. We're still cleaning it up but should be back in working shape this weekend



Not loving the cool water. WIll keep practicing



Safe and warm in my towel



Look at that hair! I love it!



A cute yawn



Girls in matching bows. The dogs have since eaten Amaris' white bow. Who eats a bow, really?



Getting long...due to bureaucracy we have been unable to have a 2 month check up. She's 3 months. Don't really know how long or how much she weighs but know she is healthy. We'll know more Thursday!



My heart stealer



We drove to Newnan (near Atlanta) to spend the day with my dear friend Sara and her family including Sam. She is going to have her baby girl this week so we got there just in time!



Finally found a toy engaging enough to encourage good tummy time. So strong!



Kaley has figured out how to play and help out with Amaris. Here she is doing tummy time too. Amaris loves her sister and I am truly amazed that a 3 month baby can react so strongly to her but she does. It's so cool!

I see Amaris was in a UF onesie!!!!!! Sweet!!!! Go Gators!

Also, I heard there's a new church in Georgia (possibly Atlanta) that was started by Louie Giglio, Chris Tomlin, and Matt Redman (I think it was those guys). If you can try it out for me!
