Turner takes Nags Head

The first week of June, the Boone's crashed Nags Head, NC along with the Vasbinder and Yang families. The house was across the street from the beach and included a pool. Turner loved lounging in the pool...

And falling in.

His time with Grams and Papa were a lot of fun. Turner loves his grandparents.

With daddy. The T-man wasnt too keen on the ocean. At first he didn't like the noise and the motion of the waves, but he ended up getting used to that. What he really hated was when we dipped his feet in the cold water!

And with mommy. He discovered the sand immediately although we were happy that he didn't eat any.

He ended up really liking moving the sand around and making sure that plenty of it got on the blanket.

He really had a great time (once he got used to the sleeping arrangements) and we enjoyed having a whole week with just Turner and no work!

Outdoor fun

Turner enjoys being in the backyard. He likes to pull up the grass around him although he doesnt like it touching his feet. And of course the blanket is always fascinating.

After a long day of playing, it's time for some sleep. He is much better sleeping now than he used to be. He can generally get through the night without waking more than once or twice, but he is ready to go at 4:30AM. Mom and dad are still adjusting to that wake up call.

Cyrus Robert Depp

On May 17, Matt's sister Jenny had her third baby, Cyrus Robert DeppHe weighed 9 lb and 1 oz and was 20 in long. As you can see he has lots of dark hair and he and mom are recovering well. Turner is excited to have his sixth cousin!

Big brother Maddox with Cyrus. The kids have been really good with the baby. Addi has been very helpful with getting things for him and Maddox enjoys holding him. Maddox has said that he will help feed Cyrus toast!

Fun with an eight month old

Turner has started developing a personality as you can see in these videos. The first is his first experience with a graham cracker at our house.

Mother's Day

On Mother's Day we went to church and then celebrated with the Vasbinder family for lunch.Grams got some good Turner time.
Mommy really like the Plantstick and hummingbird feeder that she got from little T.

On Wednesday, Gran and Grandad came by to say goodbye to Turner for a little while as they both were heading out that evening to see Jenny and family in Turkey!
Turner was bummed that they were leaving and decided that passive resistance was the way to keep them there.

Easter

Turner awoke Easter morning to gifts from the Easter bunny!He really liked his sunglasses and his parents really liked the candy that the Easter bunny left that Turner can't eat yet. He also got some bubbles, a sippy cup, and a teething toy. He is really too cool.

We surprised Gran by showing up for church in Greensboro and she carried him right to the front for the children's sermon. After church, we went to Aunt Marilyn's for lunch.

Uncle Adam was also there.

Let's see that again.

Turner became the star of the show.

Katie, Jay, Melissa, and Adam enjoying the show.

Turner especially likes sitting on his Mamaw's lap!

Happy Easter everyone!

Chloe's pasttime

Chloe has taken on some new pursuits. We hung a birdfeeder this spring that K's sister Lauren gave us.Chloe at first enjoyed just watching the birds flit around. Then she started watching them from hidden positions so that she could then spring out and ambush them.

When she didnt have much success catching the birds, she decided to just eat whatever bird seed fell to the ground from the feeder.
