Ari's First Trip to Georgia

Ari finally made it to Georgia to meet Mom's side of the family!  We had an incredible time and Ari got to spend some quality time with his Nana and Papa.  We wish that we could have stayed longer and seen more people, but there just wasn't time, so we are sorry to those that we were not able to see on this trip.  Here are some pictures of Ari's Georgia adventure!
Aunt Tina, Aunt Barbara, Nana, Papa, Uncle Walt, and Mommy.
Ari had alot of fun playing with his cousins.  They were good at making him laugh - Boo!
Here is Ari on Nana and Papa's boat.  He wasn't real fond of wearing his life jacket, but he dealt with it pretty well since he didn't really have a choice.
Nana learned to Standup Paddleboard while Ari and Mom played in the water.  Ari kept trying to drink the lake water so we had to rig up his floaty to get him higher out of the water - hence the Sanford and Son floatation contraption.
Ari's first time on the board.  Sandy is standing guard in case Ari decides to take a swim.

Ari and Papa waking up in the morning.
Nana showed Ari a few notes on the piano.  He had fun banging out some tunes!
Ari and his Cousin Kaytlyn.  We sure are going to miss having her around.  She was such a huge help keeping Ari entertained.
Ari and Nana in North Carolina.  We took a short hike in to see a beautiful waterfall.  We had such a great time and miss everyone so much already.  We love you Nana and Papa!  Thank you so much for everything!

Things I've Been Up To...

So now that I'm seven months old, here is what I've been up to lately.  
Playing with my toys.
My friend Kasey came to visit me from Washington.  She is really nice and makes me smile!
I like to eat my veggies.  They will make me grow up to be big and strong.
Ari's one man band!
Hanging by the river waiting for Daddy to come by on his paddleboard.
I liked playing in the sand.
Me and my Dad - one day I will be big enough to go paddle with him!
