Festivities in the Bluegrass: Derby 2018

This year, we enjoyed some new Derby festivities! Being back in KY for this time of year has brought so much fun for the kids and I! Last year we did it up big time adult-style with our NY friends. Hitting up a bourbon tour and the Kentucky Derby.

This year schedules were crazy so we decided to enjoy the more kid-friendly activities. I took Adelaide & Aspen to Thunder Over Louisville courtesy of BB&T. The air show and fireworks were a huge hit!
 

We also got up early to see the Charity Balloon Race out of Bowman Field. With donuts in hand, the kids loved watching the sunrise as the balloons lifted off. It was a perfect little Thursday morning to see the excitement in their eyes!

In a last minute decision, Ryan & I decided to have an early morning date to Dawn at the Downs. It was breathtaking to see the sun rise, the track, and beautiful horses collide all at once.

I look forward to exploring new Derby events each year with the kids. It brings back memories of my childhood that I long forgot about. Being a Louisvillian is even more fun this time of year!

Salem Lucille: 6 Months

Dearest Salem Lucille,
 

How are you already 6 months old? One half of a year! The time has flown by sweet girl and you truly are an amazing blessing in our lives!

You had quite a month with celebrating your first Easter and going on your first Spring Break! You enjoyed the Easter Bunny treats followed by a wonderful trip to Colorado. You were a pure delight on both flights and adjusted to the time change seamlessly. You enjoyed the CO sunshine as well as the extra snuggles from mommy & daddy.

You have been teething hard and it has created quite a bit of congestion. It seems that every time you get past it, then here comes another bout with the teething demons! You also suffered another respiratory virus and a double ear infection. I must say that you take being sick in stride and still manage to smile through it all!

You graduated to sitting up in the bathtub rather than laying back. You are loving this newfound position as you grab your toes and bath toys. You continue to try new foods including peaches, peas, and carrots. You are definitely a fruit lover!

You are such a ham and I love to peak inside your car seat to see you give me that sweet grin! You are still continuing to babble away as you fit right in with this crazy family.

I love you!

Love,

Mommy
