We spent the weekend on the way home from the beach with our good friends, the Cavallaro's. Etienne and Julia are both in the army, and they live near Ft. Bragg. They have two girls, Gabrielle, who is in between Georgia and Jackson, and Olivia, who is a couple weeks younger than Emory June. We knew them even before we were married, and it was great to get our whole families together for a few days.

| Etienne and Julia had video monitors for the kids. Absolutely fascinating. Emory June had just started crawling, and we had her in Olivia's bed. As we were watching, we saw EmJ pull herself up (c'mon, she had just started crawling that day) and she was leaning over the side rail of the crib. We are watching this on video, certain that she is about to go head first out of the crib. I rushed upstairs and made a dashing rescue in the nick of time. Needless to say, we ordered them off of Amazon the next day. (Side note - do you know that you can buy practically anything on Amazon.com? It is a mom's best friend. Why drag 3 children into a store when you can find it on amazon and it ships free? Seriously. A few of our favorite purchases: shoes, video monitors, books, and our snowblower). |

| Etienne took us to his base to see the Blackhawk helicopters that he flies/flew in Afghanistan. Very cool. |
