Our Ocean City vacation






This was our view from the condo

After our trip to Salisbury we headed to the Eastern shore of Maryland: Ocean City. We had a condo for the week. The condo looked right out onto the Atlantic Ocean. It just couldn't have been any better. Our highlights from the vacation included: playing in the sand, Emery getting a big sand shovel, (that is all she needed!), Mommy finding sea shells for the girls, digging for sand crabs (Ivy loved them...E not so much!), meeting sweet friends from Pittsburgh that we played with everyday: Ella, Gracie and Anna (they were such fun), Ivy and Daddy crashing in the waves, (Daddy got a black eye to show!), playing in the pool, eating seafood and just being together as a family.
We had a wonderful time. The girls are great little travelers and we learned so much about them. Emery tried to grasp the concept of being in Maryland and then being in Texas again. She was really glad to be home. The day after we got home she got up and said, "Mommy, thank you for bringing me back to my home!"

Leanne and Jeremy's wedding




Well, we went to Salisbury, MD for a wedding some dear friends of ours: Jeremy and Leanne. They are very special to the Hull family, and we consider them a part of our family. Leanne started out as a friend from our church and then we asked her to babysit. Very quickly, we considered her part of our family And of course, she loved Jeremy and so do we!
There was a question whether or not Emery would actually do well in her flower girl role and when it came to the "hour" she performed! She had a great time as the flower girl and we all had a great time at the beautiful wedding of our friends. Congratulations J&L. We had so much fun on your special day, and you are sincerely missed!
