This summer has flown and it could be because we haven't managed to stay put for very long! After coming home for just one week after the beach, we headed back to Nashville for one last trip of the summer- and too drop Davis off for Camp Nana/Grandma. It was a good trip but I think everyone is tired of being in the car and very happy to be home for a while! While we were there, we visited the Nashville Zoo and the Discovery Center. We also celebrated Aubrey & Pa's birthdays and were able to see family (like sweet Molly Cate). There are lots of pictures of Aubrey but very few of the boys so I apologize in advance for that! It just worked out that she was always where I was while the boys were elsewhere. These pictures were also taken from my phone, which is not as great of a quality as the digital camera, but they're still pretty good!

It is so hard to believe that our sweet Aubrey Claire is now 2! We held a birthday party at our house today, on her birthday, to celebrate. It was so much fun! All of her favorite people were there (minus family members in TN, but we will celebrate with them next week). She was a true princess and enjoyed every moment and every present! In all, there were 27 people there. It was great!
