Trip with the Girls

Last week, I took the girls on a trip....to see Connor! :) Who wouldn't want to spend 5 hours in the car/rest stops with a 2 1/2 year old and baby to see this sweet face? :)


Everyone was excited to get out of the car and start playing when we got there. Connor was such a nice boy to Chloe and April. He shared all his great toys, let us come to his swim-night and music class, and had his Mom serve us great food :)


See this 'guy' next to April? She loved him! "Steel-y" is the name of her new friend and she spent some time 'talking' with him each day....she might have thought he was a dog....

We also spent a lot of time looking out the windows (love those low windows at Bill and Laura's!):




Over three days, these three had a great time together :) The weather was so nice that we got to play outside and take a few walks. Chloe got to go get ice-cream with Aunt Laura too!


Even Schnookums gets the royal treatment at Aunt Laura's :)

I asked Chloe what her favorite part about our trip was and she said "feeding fish!". That's right, the job that takes approximately 3 seconds a day was her highlight :) Maybe there is a goldfish in our future :)

Cousins for life! :)


The second leg of our trip was a stop in at Mimi and Poppop's to visit with Noah and Charity while they were in town. April and Charity chatted over lunch:


and Chloe shared some lolly-pops with Noah :)


Another cutie! The drive home didn't seem so bad after spending time with these nice boys!
Thank you Aunt Laura, Uncle Bill, Mimi, & Poppop for letting us stay! We had a wonderful time!

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h
