Growing Monkey

We just can't believe how big this kid is getting... and in 73 days, he won't be the baby anymore! He cracks us up all day long and we can already see that he has a sweet, energetic and daring personality. What a blessing he is to our family. :)

Walking with the Dinos

My mom got Reese tickets (early bday gift) to go see this dinosaur spectacular... and he was pretty pumped. We'd been watching clips of it online and he'd pretty much memorized all the dinos we'd be seeing. It did not disappoint- we were 6 rows up with a new light-up toy and cotton candy. The dinosaurs were totally realistic. The only part that worried him was when he thought the baby t-rex was in danger, but its mama came to defend it, don't you worry. :)

Reunion!

It had been way too many years since I'd seen these dear high school friends and had never met ANY of their kids! Between the 4 of us, we had the beginnings of a preschool... 8 kids 6 and under. We didn't exactly get to sit around chatting and sipping coffee (not as if I'd ever drink coffee anyway), but it was nice to spend some time together seeing them in their new roles as "mommy." Abby is on the left (she has 2 boys), then Angi next to her (she has 2 girls), and then Laura behind me (with her son). What fun!

H2Ohhhhhh

This summer has been wonderfully filled with boat trips, spray parks and our own pool. The kids just can't get enough water and it's been such a great way to stay cool and entertained.

Anniversary Cruise

What a way to celebrate 10 years! We headed out From Miami to Key West and Nassau with NO kids (other than the one in utero) thanks to the Grammies! Our time was almost completely filled with sleeping, eating, lounging, and reading! In Nassau we decided to get off the ship and take a tour to relive a bit of our honeymoon. We had a great tour guide all to ourselves and he taught us tons about the island as we drove around. For lunch we ate at a chinese restaurant that we enjoyed several times on our honeymoon. I also finished 3 of the 4 Twilight books which could never have been accomplished outside of a vacation. We just thoroughly enjoyed our time away with absolutely no responsibilities other than what we'd do for the day. Happy 10 years (which we don't technically celebrate til August 7th) :)
