Gillian rolled over!!

Before we get to the big news of the post, I thought I would recap last weekend. We left KC on Friday and got to Nana and Pops' house a while later. The next day, Gillian got to swim for the very first time in her brand new Dora swimsuit! Look for those pictures in the slideshow below...

That night, we took Gillian to Mom's grave site for the first time so she could officially meet her Grandma Janet. It was a pretty special moment for me. I know she's in heaven smiling down on us, but it made fatherhood seem so much more real to me, and it meant everything for us to be able to take her out there.

On the way to Tulsa Saturday night, we drove through Coffeyville, KS. Even though it was dark, we could tell that the entire north side of town had been ravaged by the flood. There were no streetlights, and oil and water marks on everything that were sometimes 8-10 feet off of the ground. Unbelievable.

We had a very fun visit with Ma and Pa and we were also able to see Aunt Catherine's dorm room at the University of Tulsa. Very cool...we can't believe she's in college already!

On Tuesday, as I was working on getting things together, Michelle decided to put Gillian down on her belly for a little tummy time. After about 10 minutes of lying there and getting more frustrated by the minute, Gillian rolled over! Michelle did manage to get before and after shots.

Before...
After...(she looks so accomplished...)
