A Trip to Raleigh

On Monday morning, Reagan, Tommy & I packed up the car and headed to Raleigh to see Keith, Colleen, Max, Chance & Molly.  We had intentions of meeting Lynsey and Mason too in order to take some pictures of Max, but unfortunately, Mason was sick and they were unable to come.  We definitely missed them.  And Max is going through a growth spurt and eating every hour and a half or so (to the dismay of his exhausted mommy) so he wasn't really up for pictures, but it was great to see everyone and Colleen surprised me with a much needed break from my fabulous daughter while I got a massage!  Our friend Jakki, a physical therapist in training, came over with her massage table and gave both Colleen and me 1-hour long massages.  It was incredible.  I felt like we were on an episode of The Real Housewives of NC!!  

After the massages and putting Reagan to bed, Colleen and Keith made delicious, HUGE salads and we shared a bottle of wine.  It was a fantastic visit and we were excited to see how much Max has grown.  Keith and Colleen are incredible parents already and they are so good with Reagan.  We are blessed to have them in our lives.

Sleepy Max

One of his favorite spots I'm told...getting ready for bath time

Daddy got him to give us a smile!

Seriously, how cute is this kid?!

Love the tongue picture!

Mom, get this chick to stop with the flash!

Someone was not pleased with his dad when it came to the actual bath:)

I'm cold...get me out of here!

Warm again and happy too

Making friends with Chance...what a good dog!

Hair stylin' time

Ok Dad, I'm handsome, get me some milk!

Feeding/game time.  Keith is a multi-tasker.

And of course, had to include a picture of my girl.  Here she is rocking her 'Hoos shirt from Grandma and Grandpa.

    These two are so cute. It's crazy to see how big Reagan is compared to Max!

    So sad we couldn't make it. It's amazing how much Max has grown.

NC Girls' Weekend

Image
Since Jason is out of town, we decided to schedule an impromptu girls weekend visit in North Carolina. It was great to see Lynsey & Colleen and their families. Jessica, the girls and I drove down Friday night and got to Lynsey's just before midnight. We didn't do much, but hang around the house and play outside on the first day. It was relaxing and fun. Brian was awesome and played with the kids while Jess, Lynsey & I did a workout in their amazing home gym. Colleen came up with the boys around lunch time on Saturday. All the kids fawned over Miles, or as they have names him, Baby My My. I think Savannah really enjoyed not being the youngest for a few days. Saturday night, we ordered pizza, ate way too much, and Grammy Betty came over. We haven't seen her in a long time and it was wonderful to chat with her again.  The next day, we woke up to some snow! We played outside again and the kids played well together which was nice for us adults. Colleen and the boys

Bath Time Fun

Image
Typically, after Jason gets home and eats dinner, he is on bath duty. It gives me 10 minutes to clean the kitchen, set up his coffee and make his lunch for the following day. One day last week though, everything was already done, so I snuck in to watch the fun. We recently got some Mr. Bubbles for Reagan and she LOVED them. She's such a cheeseball!

Bath Time: PAHM Style

Image
I've mentioned it before, but I will say it again: I love Play At Home Mom !!! This site is the best for ideas to interact with, engage, and teach your children. Reagan takes a bath almost every night. She has the typical assortment of toys (rubber boats, cups, a turtle, etc) to entertain her, but lately, she just leaves them in the bag. I decided to introduce some new things during bath time and they were a huge hit! Here are some pictures from our "adventures in bath fun." First up: BUBBLES ! It's a bit too cold to just hang out in the yard blowing bubbles, so I decided that bath time would be the perfect opportunity for a mess free bubble party! I LOVE this shot.  Secondly, (and straight from PAHM), I added: WATER BALLOONS !!! She absolutely loved when I poked a small hole in them and they became "water fountains!"
