I know I’ve mentioned by college roomie, Kristin, before. She has two boys the exact same age as Maxwell and Spencer. She lives in Atlanta but her in-laws are in Birmingham so I get to see her every now and then. Here’s the last time they were here – can’t believe how little the boys look! – and here’s another visit when our babies were about one – and here’s one more time when the babies first got to meet!

She stopped by on Friday of last week for a while and we let all the boys play while she got to meet Samantha…

The boys were a hoot together. Maxwell and Lucas are 10 days apart and Spencer and Hayes are 17 days apart….

cuties all of them!

Then on Saturday afternoon, we had quick visit from my aunt, Jeanette. We’re so glad she was able to stop on her way to see Laura so she could meet Miss Samantha!

Monday

February 2, 2015

Oh Monday…it seems the sun is shining a little brighter, the birds are singing a little louder, and all is right in the world! Or maybe it’s just me and the high I’m still on from this sweet baby girl!  🙂

I have a bunch of photos to go through from the hospital but haven’t had time to do that yet so here’s a few from the weekend…

The boys (and I love that I can now say “the boys” and “the girls” when referring to our family! Samantha and I will happily be a girl team of 2!) went to a birthday party for John at the airplane museum on Saturday morning. Fun!

They especially loved the aviators that came in the party favor bags!

While they were gone, I ventured out to Target with Samantha. Her first of many Target trips for sure!

It was a beautiful, warm afternoon so we enjoyed a little fresh air…

We had so much fun catching up and, because Robert’s the best, I even managed to sneak away for a quick dinner with her!  I love this picture Lynds took – check out Spencer in the background sans shirt after a messy dinner!  ha!

Lynds came armed with sweet gifts to get my little girl looking like a little girl! Bring on the pink!!

Weekend 10

February 24, 2014

Ten things about our weekend…

1. We had a very special visitor!  GJ surprised Spencer and Maxwell on Saturday morning and we loved having her here all weekend!

2. Robert was out of town basically from Thursday morning to Sunday morning.  I’ve been sick since Thursday morning so I was even more glad than the boys to have GJ in town!

3. Yes, I’m sick again. Honestly thought I had the flu again but went to the doc and was super surprised when the flu test came back negative. I had fever Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and that’s thankfully over now but I still don’t feel great.  My self-diagnosis?  Mono.  We’ll see how the week goes.

4. Despite my puny state, we still enjoyed the BEAUTIFUL weather this weekend with lots of playing outside.

(don’t you love our new construction zone!)

5. We spent lots of time strolling around our little Mayberry and definitely put in a stop at the tot lot.

6. GJ is a good sport!  She was following Spencer around the playground while I pushed Maxwell on the swings.  Spencer got up there and crawled through the tube and there’s no other way to get to the other side (that has a huge open drop off!) without crawling through that tube…so through it she went!  I got over there just in time to capture how awesome a grandmother she really is!  🙂

7. My kids may be picky eaters but neither of them will turn down a chocolate chip cookie!

8. Spencer showed GJ this weekend that his favorite place to play is the closet. He kept going in the closet and closing the door behind him all weekend, even at night when it was pitch dark in there! He’s definitely in an open/close doors phase!

9. When Maxwell says he wants ice cream, what he really wants are the brownie and cookie toppings you can put on your ice cream!  No worry though, Spencer will eat the ice cream!

10. We love GJ and wish she could visit every weekend!

See you tomorrow!
